Frankfurt Book Fair 2011 wrap-up

The Frankfurt Book Fair reports a slight increase in the number of visitors in 2011, with about one per cent more people coming to Frankfurt than in 2010. In all, the fair attracted 280,194 visitors, and around 7,384 exhibitors from 106 countries were present. The international rights and licenses trade also increased this year, with more visitors claiming that the rights trade was the central purpose of their visit. The Literary Scouts & Agents Centre recorded an increase of 11% in visitor numbers. As ever, attention was mainly focused on titles from the English-speaking countries.

The Canada Stand was slightly smaller this year as several publishers have decided to attend every two years. In all, 44 publishers reserved display and meeting space on the stand and another four chose the pied-à-terre option. Despite the fair’s official numbers, publishers felt attendance was down slightly from previous years. Nonetheless, all reported positive and productive meetings with their foreign counterparts.
