\"\"The Ministry of Culture is opening bookstore kiosks nationwide and the pilot plan was launched during the Regional Azua Book Fair and also at Calle El Conde (between Hostos and Meri\u00f1o) during the Christmas holidays. The book kiosk is now permanently open at the Ministry of Culture headquarters on the Malec\u00f3n for sales to the general public.<\/p>\n

Culture Minister Pedro Verg\u00e9s said the new book distribution outlets seek to bring books closer to readers. The outlets showcase the books by Dominican authors published by the Editora Nacional of the Ministry of Culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is little to gain in publishing impeccable editions and important publications if the books are just warehoused. As part of our new strategy, the kiosk network, in addition to the placement in already operating bookstores, will guarantee that the books that are part of the national editorial fund can reach all Dominicans,\u201d he explained. Among the established bookstores where the books are available in Santo Domingo are Centro Cuesta del Libro on Av. 27 de Febrero and Mamey on Calle Mercedes in the Colonial City.<\/p>\n

Working with the book distribution effort is Ruth Herrera, director of the Book Fair; Jose Enrique Garcia, editor of the Editora Nacional, and communications director Patricia Mora.<\/p>\n

Among the titles of the books that are part of the Biblioteca Dominicana B\u00e1sica, or Colecci\u00f3n Homenaje, are: \u201cMateria del amor,\u201d poetry by Manuel Rueda; \u201cLa sangre\u2019\u2019, by Tulio Manuel Cestero; and \u201cYerbas bajo las piedras\u2019\u2019, poetry by H\u00e9ctor Inch\u00e1ustegui Cabral. Also: \u201cTextos escogidos\u201d, short stories by Virgilio D\u00edaz Grull\u00f3n; and \u201cPalabras sin tiempo,\u201d poetry by Domingo Moreno Jimenes, among others. Prices for the books range from RD$75 to RD$200.<\/p>\n
