The Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF) will take place from October 19th to 23rd this year in Frankfurt/Germany, where it is known as Frankfurter Buchmesse.

The 500-year-old fair is acknowledged to be the world's largest trade fair for books, based on the number of publishing companies represented, and the second largest trade fair for books based on the number of visitors after Turin International Book Fair.

The event is held annually in mid-October at the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds in Frankfurt, Germany. The first three days are restricted exclusively to trade visitors; the general public can attend on the last two.

Representatives from book publishing and multimedia companies from all over the world come to the Frankfurt Book Fair in order to negotiate international publishing rights and licensing fees. The fair is organised by a subsidiary company of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. For five days more than 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries and more than 300,000 visitors take part. The Frankfurt Book Fair is considered to be the most important book fair in the world for international deals and trading.
