Citi of Books proudly brought the books of our remarkable authors to the heart of the 39th Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL), turning our space into a lively corner where stories, ideas, and creativity met.
Being part of FIL from November 29 to December 7, in Expo Guadalajara, Av. Mariano Otero 1599, Col. Verde Valle, Guadalajara, Jalisco, meant more than simply displaying books—it meant becoming part of a larger cultural heartbeat. Our gallery served as a bridge between authors and curious readers, offering a close-up look at stories that deserve the spotlight. From powerful biographies to practical guides, and from imaginative fiction to soul-stirring reflections, our curated collection drew in visitors who left with new favorites in hand. And with the vibrant spirit of FIL all around us, every conversation, recommendation, and smile felt like a reminder of why we love sharing books with the world.
With FIL’s electric atmosphere—filled with authors, readers, and cultures from around the globe—our gallery became a warm stop for visitors eager to discover fresh voices and inspiring works. Among the standout titles we showcased was “Pharmacy in Bondage” by Dr. Patrick Ojo.
“Pharmacy in Bondage” is a thorough, passionate dive into the world of pharmacy—its history, its importance, its challenges, and the immense expertise pharmacists bring to modern medicine. Dr. Ojo explores how pharmacists are highly trained professionals with deep knowledge in drug development, medication safety, and patient care. Yet, despite their critical role, they are often undervalued and underutilized in the healthcare system. Through detailed historical insights, comparisons of global medical education, and real-world cases, he shows how vital pharmacists are and advocates for collaboration among all healthcare professionals for the benefit of the patient.
When we think about healthcare heroes, our minds usually jump straight to doctors and nurses—but this book reminds us that another key player has been standing quietly in the background this whole time: the pharmacist. This book is perfect for readers who love anything related to medicine, healthcare, and especially pharmacology. It shines a light on a profession that affects every family, every clinic, and every hospital, yet rarely gets the spotlight it truly deserves.
What’s refreshing is that the book isn’t trying to pit professions against each other. Instead, Dr. Ojo promotes a message of unity within healthcare. He highlights that doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and all medical professionals succeed best when working together as a team for the patient’s wellbeing. It’s a moral that resonates in everyday life too—collaboration over competition creates better outcomes, no matter the field.
By the end of “Pharmacy in Bondage” by Dr. Patrick Ojo, you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the incredible work pharmacists do, and maybe even rethink how you view your next prescription pickup. Dr. Ojo’s deep knowledge and passion shine on every page, making this book an eye-opening and enriching read. Whether you’re a medical professional, a student, or simply someone curious about the world behind the medicine you take, this book is definitely worth adding to your shelf.
