We’re excited to announce that Hasta Mañana will be featured at the 2024 Frankfurter Buchmesse (Frankfurt International Book Fair)! This year’s fair is scheduled from October 16 – October 20, 2024 and the five-day annual event will be held at the Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Frankfurt Book Fair is the world’s largest book fair for books in the world based both on the number of publishing companies represented, and the number of visitors. It is considered to be the most important book fair in the world for several thousands of exhibitors representing book publishing, multimedia, film and technology companies, as well as content providers from all over the world who gather in order to negotiate international publishing rights and licenses. The first three days are restricted exclusively to professional visitors and the general public attend the fair on the weekend.
The Frankfurt Book Fair has a storied history of more than 500 years, preceding even the advent of printed books. Established as early as the 12th century in the decades after Johannes Gutenberg developed printing near Frankfurt, it served as the general trade fair in Frankfurt for printers and publishers to sell handwritten books. Later, the fair became the primary point for book marketing, a hub for the diffusion of written texts, and during the Reformation, the fair was attended by merchants testing the market for new books and by scholars looking for newly available scholarship.
We’re honored that both the print and ebook editions of Hasta Mañana were invited to be featured as part of this year’s 2024 Frankfurter Buchmesse. Don’t miss your chance to learn about this engaging publication and connect with the one of the literary world’s most historic and iconic events of the year!
Hasta Mañana (Dorrance Publishing Company, Inc.) is available at major book distributors and its release in the Spanish language is scheduled for late 2024.
