The 3rd International Thessaloniki Book Fair opens on May 25th. Greek and foreign publishers will be there in force. More than 30 countries will be represented, with 80 publishers and literary agents attending, from all over Europe, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and from countries further afield such as Argentina, Russia and Japan. In a single year this young fair has doubled in size – with twice the number of participants and events, and covering twice the floor space. This reflects the dynamism of Greek publishing, which produced a record growth of 7 percent in the past year. With great pleasure we welcome you to the 3rd International Thessaloniki Book Fair!
