ReadersMagnet Joins the 2019 Frankfurt International Book Fair

For the third consecutive year, ReadersMagnet will take part in the world’s largest book fair, the Frankfurter Buchmesse commonly known as the Frankfurt International Book Fair.

The Origins of
Frankfurt Buchmesse

The 2019 Frankfurter International Book Fair will happen this October 16 to October 20, 2019, at the Frankfurt Trade fair grounds in Frankfurt, Germany.

The modern Frankfurter Buchmesse has a rich and long history. Its roots and tradition date back to more than 500 years, during the early days of Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press.

The origin of the fair started with Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer
who thought of organizing a trade fair for printed books. From there, the fair
became a central venue both for merchants marketing books and for scholars
seeking new opportunities.

Over the years, it developed as the most important book
fair in Europe along with the Leipzig Book Fair. In 1949, the first post-World
War II book fair was held at the St. Paul’s Church. Since then, the Frankfurt
regain its prestige that continues to this today.
