The Frankfurt Book Fair (or Frankfurter Buchmesse) is the world's largest trade fair for books, held annually in mid-October in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Everyone who is anyone in the industry will be there: authors and publishers, booksellers and librarians, art dealers and illustrators, academics and translators, agents and journalists, information brokers and readers.

Not only is the Frankfurt Book Fair the meeting point for the business, it is also the world's largest marketplace for trading in publishing rights and licenses. Visitors take the opportunity to obtain information about the publishing market, to network, and to do business.
