As a distinguished trade for books, the Frankfurt Book Fair is considered one of the most important events in international trading that amasss the largest number of exhibitors. This five-day event is annually held in mid-October at Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It has continuously run its success for 75 years since its conception.
