Country Gennany Inaugurated 17th century modern era: I 949 History Attendance 286,000 Website Origins http://www.book-fair.com The Frankfurt Book Fair bas a tradition that spans over more than 500 years. Soon after Johannes Gutenberg had developed printing in movable letters in Mainz near Frankfurt, the first book fair was held by local booksellers. Until the end of the 17th century, it was the most important book fair in Europe. As a consequence of political and cultural_ developments, it was eclipsed by the Leipzig Book Fair during the Enlightenment. After World War II, the first book fair was held again in 1949 at the St. Paul's Church. Since then, it has regained its pre-eminent position. Significance The Frankfurt Book fair is a critical marketing event for the launching of books, but it is also an important event to facilitate the negotiation of the international sale of rights and licences. Visitors take the opportunity to obtain information about the publishing market, to network, and to do business. Publishers, agents, booksellers, librarians, academics, illustrators, service providers, film producers, translators, printers, professional and trade associations, institutions, artists, authors, antiquarians, software and multimedia suppliers all take part in the events and business climate of Frankfurt Book Fair. In 2006, more than 11 ,000 journalists from 66 countries reported on the fair which brought together 7,272 individual exhibitors from 113 countries, and more than 183,000 trade visitors. In 2009, there were 7,314 individual exhibitors from some 100 countries, presenting over 400,000 books. Some 300,000 visitors attended the fair. .

Report on the 2019 Leipzig Book Fair
Dear saints, From 21-24 March 2019 we participated in the Leipzig Book Fair, which was a coordinated labor between Bibles for Europe and Lebensstrom. From the four-day event we gave out a total of 5,060 German New Testament Recovery Version Bibles to an audience of 286,000 visitors and sold some ministry books as well. This is a second largest book fair in Germany after the one in Frankfurt. The vast majority of the visitors in Leipzig were typical Germans, many of whom were from the Greater Leipzig Area. In addition, people of all ages were willing to receive a copy of the New Testament. A new one came to a dinner with the saints on the first night, and the local saints are still in contact with this new one. Several other Bible recipients left their contact information with the saints. We pray that the Lord will operate in the hearts of the Bible recipients and grow in them as they read His word. We also pray that the hungrier ones will begin to order the ministry books in German. May the Lord gain many for the church life particularly in the City of Leipzig. For this four-day event seven saints came from Düsseldorf/Frankfurt, 21 saints from Berlin, and 11 local saints plus two children from Leipzig. The visiting saints experienced the blending and warm hospitality from the local saints as they labored together to distribute the New Testament. Every day the saints sensed that they were laboring in and for the Body and that their labor was being carried by the prayers of the Body.

60-BM-Trade Fairs, Markets and Fieldsx
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenArchive@CBS Creativity at Work: Trade Fairs, Markets and Fields: Framing Imagined Communities By Brian Moeran April 2011 1-35 Creative Encounters Working Paper # 60 Abstract This working paper takes as its starting point the work of the German economic sociologist, Jens Beckert, and his call for empirical investigations into how intentionally rational actors reach decisions under conditions when they do not know what is best to do. It describes how trade fairs act as a framing mechanism that enables participants to come together for the exchange of goods and services and to perceive themselves as acting in a social field. Fairs frame the contacts people make and sustain as networks; the institutional rules and social norms guiding their behaviour there; and the values and cognitive frames that they bring to bear and negotiate with other participants. They make actors aware of a ‘mutual correspondence’ in their interpretation of the goods in which they deal and of the social situations in which engage for the sake of such trade. Trade fairs both configure fields and make markets possible. Keywords Field, (Cognitive) Frame, Imagined community, Institution, Market, Network, Trade fair, Value Author Brian Moeran is Professor of Business Anthropology and Director of ©reative Encounters at the Copenhagen Business School. A social anthropologist by training, he has written widely on a variety of forms of cultural production (including pottery, art marketing, fashion magazines, incense, and book publishing). Major works include A Japanese Advertising Agency (Curzon-Routledge, 1996), The Business of Ethnography (Berg, 2005), and Negotiating Values in the Creative Industries , edited with Jesper Strandgaard Pedersen (Cambridge University Press, 2011).
