Because the Shanghai Book Fair this August was the first major exhibition held in mainland China following the SARS outbreak, more than 300 publishers and 100 magazines set up stands on its limited fairgrounds. Orders totaling RMB750 million were placed during the course of the fair, including RMB200 million from Shanghai publishers.
今年八月的上海圖書交易會，因為是 SARS 之後大陸所舉辦的第一場大型展覽，有限的場地擠進三百多家出版社與一百家社攤位，在開會期間，訂貨量達到七億五千萬人民幣，其中滬版圖書佔兩億。
