Frankfurt Book Fair

The major size of this annual event is better described by impressive numbers rather than refined words. The 2013 edition hosted 7275 exhibitors from 102 nations, 631 literary agents, about 9300 journalists, 275.342 visitors and 170.664 professional visitors. Impossible to miss for all the professionals of the book sector, the Frankfurt Book Fair has an history that dates back to the 15th century and that is inevitably linked to Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the movable type. Today, the Fair has become the largest of its kind in the world - and the hallmark for global activities in the field of culture.
