Frequently asked questions
Over 7,000 exhibitors and 280,000+ visitors from 100+ countries. It is the world's largest book industry event.
Each year one country is honoured as Guest of Honour, with a dedicated pavilion, programme and significant cultural attention. The honour rotates and often boosts the chosen country's literary export significantly.
Most of the week is trade-only; weekend days open to the public. Rights and trade business is concentrated Tuesday-Thursday.
Both are world-leading. London Book Fair (spring) is English-language focused; Frankfurt (autumn) is global with strong German and European centre of gravity. Most publishers attend both.
Three to five days depending on rights-trading intensity. Trade buyers typically come for three days; rights agents often stay the full week.
