'There is seemingly no more spectacular contemporary parade of unbridled literary commercialism than the Frankfurter Buchmesse (FBM), the Frankfurt Book Fair, held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, over five days each October. FBM is the world’s largest trade fair for books. With over 7,000 exhibitors, thousands of journalists from all over the world, and annually over a quarter of a million visitors, this is also the world’s oldest bookfair. Local booksellers began to exhibit their wares here not long after Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the movable type printing press in 1450.' (Graeme Harper : Editorial introduction)
