Beth Driscoll and Claire Squires: The Frankfurt Book Fair and Bestseller Business

Abstract

The authors present a very good review of the event, participation and background literature to place the Frankfurt Book Fair pre Covid-19 into proper perspective. I only regret that the Editors of Cambridge University Press did not invite an author or authors to write a review of the Scientific, Technical, Medical and Digital sector of the Frankfurt Book Fair to provide a part 2 for a more complete review of the largest book event in the world. Here is a very different or non-traditional approach to providing background information and a guide for the Frankfurt Book Fair when it was still the largest international book event before the Covid-19 Pandemic forced it and many other international events into a new digital and online events.
