Photo Galleries
Pictures say more than a thousand words. Our picture galleries show you which celebrities, stars and starlets have been seen at the Fair right from day one. Or see all the things which publishers come up with to attract attention! Or how the face of the Fair itself has changed over the past six decades.
To see and to be seen – that’s why celebrities come to the Frankfurt Book Fair. But not only writers and intellectual aesthetes. Being associated with books can be attractive for politicians, professional athletes and pop singers, as well. We’ve put together a selection of well-known faces from six decades of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Books also want a little limelight. From celebrities as promoters to larger-than-life installations and towers of people, publishers and book people go to great lengths to grab public attention. We’ve picked out some of the most unusual, striking and memorable promotional moments from 60 years of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
The halls are the “face” of the Fair, the stands are its soul. A lot has happened here in the last 60 years. This is a retrospective.
Just as language, youth culture and styles have changed over the last six decades, so has advertising. A short overview of past and present publicity trends as portrayed by Frankfurt Book Fair posters.
