NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- John Lithgow, Joel Grey and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. are among the celerity authors who will hold court in booths Sunday at New York City's book fair.

More than 250,000 book lovers of all ages are expected to visit the nearly 200 booths of booksellers and publishers lining Fifth Ave. for the 25th edition of the New York Is Book Country fair.

Children tooting kazoos, costumed book characters and the All-City Marching Band will kick things off shortly before noon Sunday with a parade from 55th St. to the steps of the New York Public Library at 42nd St., the New York Daily News reported.

For DC Comics fans, Jim Lee, Art Spiegelman, Francoise Mouly and Neil Gamin will autograph posters.

The Reading Chair stage will be the setting for a Barney sing-along and a reading by Lithgow, among other attractions.
