As every year, the largest Juan Marinello Printing Office runs from Guantanamo to the Havana Book Fair that was inaugurated in 1977 by Fidel, who in his opening signed: "... With the fruit of your effort, our new generation will be educated... "
And that commitment has marked since then the dedication of the workers of that colossus of Cuban printing office, which has printed for the XXVIII literary Fair more than 100 thousand copies of 35 titles, a program selected and edited by several renown labels of the country such as Gente Nueva, Editorial Oriente, Capitán San Luis, and Ediciones Holguín and La Luz.
This contribution of the Guantanamo printing office can already be appreciated in the stands of the San Carlos de La Cabaña Fortress, the main venue and starting point of the largest publishing event in the country, while the workers of the "Juan Marinello" work in another thirty of titles that will be completed until March, a month in which the Fair will reach the eastern regions of Cuba.
The Juan Marinello Printing Office inaugurated by Fidel almost 42 years ago has not renewed much its technology, due to the economic blockade imposed by the United States on the Island, but its old machines, several appreciated by the Commander in Chief in 1977, still yield and print four-color productions, thanks to the work of the innovators of the center.
