Books Germany is talking about
Every year, the Frankfurt Book Fair puts together a number of book collections on different topical subjects. These are currently being discussed in Germany and also noted with interest in other countries. The standard collections include children’s books, new literary releases and other.
With funding from the Federal Foreign Office, the Frankfurt Book Fair presents book collections on the German collective stands that pick up on current areas of interest.
Are you interested in any of the books on display? Our colleagues on the spot will be happy to set up contacts with the German publishing companies or to advise you on how to obtain the books on show.
You can also view the book collections in the Frankfurt Book Fair’s offices abroad.
A selection of books suitable for translations all around the world
German children’s and young adult books are more in demand abroad than ever before. In 2010, 3,084 licenses were sold abroad, accounting for 37.7 per cent of all licenses and up nearly 5 per cent over the previous year. This makes children’s and young adult books the largest category for international business and within Germany they are the second largest segment. With 8,082 new titles, they constituted a 15.2 per cent share of total book sales in 2010.
For many years, the Frankfurt Book Fair has invited German-language publishers to tap into this popular demand by presenting a selection of their books abroad.
In 2012, 15 renowned publishers will participate in the collection “New Children’s Books”. A total of 54 compelling titles from these publishers (*link to title list as soon as books are online*) will be displayed and promoted at 15 foreign book fairs and at our foreign offices in China, the USA, Russia and India.
In 2012, the “New Children’s Books” collection will travel with the German Collective Stands to the following fairs: Abu Dhabi, Budapest, Buenos Aires, Gothenburg, Guadalajara, Istanbul, Jakarta, Cairo, Cape Town, Moscow, Beijing, Prague, Sao Paulo, Tehran and Warsaw.
