Our New Exhibition Stand and a Very Special "Prototype": the 2019 Frankfurt Book Fair

Like every year, the book fair attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and representatives from all over the world to Frankfurt. Naturally we were there again with our own booth to meet friends and partners and to exchange news. Here you will find a short pictorial report of our appearance at the fair.

Our new exhibition stand: you can already see our wide range of offers from far away, whereas this stand design was conceived with private visitors in mind…
The first three days of the fair are reserved for the specialists and experts. These days are particularly full of appointments and discussions, because the Frankfurt Book Fair is the only opportunity for many foreign publishers to come to Germany
There are also private collectors and interested parties at the book fair from Wednesday to Friday, but the weekend is particularly interesting for you. That's when all business appointments took place and there was time to advise people individually.
As a special eye-catcher, this year we brought the Lindisfarne Gospels with a Victorian cover
However, we could have brought almost 600 books from our inventory. Of course, this is not possible for understandable reasons. We naturally want to demonstrate our wide assortment.
A particularly nice highlight this year was that we had the opportunity to inspect a great “prototype”: the "Life and Miracle of Louis the Saint"; by the Spanish publisher Siloé
You can already look forward to the finished facsimile edition, which is due to be published next year (spring 2020)
