International Book Fairs this month

Frankfurt Book Fair

15-19 October

http://www.frankfurt-book-fair.com

This is still the big one, the premier international book fair which is attended by publishers from all over the world and is also open to the German public for some of the time. This huge fair is a meeting-place and rights marketplace for the global publishing industry, but it is a trade fair and there's not much for authors except in the German halls.
