Frankfurt Book Fair 2010: “Extremely successful and lively”

The Frankfurt Book Fair is the biggest book and media fair in the world - with around 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries. It also organises the participation of German publishers at more than 25 international book fairs and is associated with the Cape Town Book Fair in South Africa and the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair.

“We had a real thrust of energy at this Frankfurt Book Fair”, said Book Fair Director Juergen Boos at the end of the five-day Fair. “Business with contents increased yet again this year – be it for the classic book or digital format, and our visitors showed that they were delighted again this year at the huge business potential in such a concentrated form and on an international scale.” The US American and English exhibitors described the Fair as the best for many years after last year had been marked by the economic crisis and a sense of uncertainty. German exhibitors also expressed considerable satisfaction with their business deals. In total, the Frankfurt Book Fair 2010 chalked up 7,539 exhibitors from 111 countries. Around 3,000 events attracted hundreds and thousands of visitors.
