Audio @BolognaBookPlus

Dopo il grande successo dello scorso anno, torna l'Audio Forum!

Il successo dell'audio continua a crescere e molti “lettori” preferiscono la flessibilità e la facilità degli audiolibri.

Il 2 aprile, a partire dalle 13:00, nel Teatro BolognaBookPlus. È gratuito per tutti i visitatori della fiera e per gli espositori.
