Guests of Honour
Overview
Focal Themes and Guests of Honour
The series of focal themes at the Frankfurt Book Fair was launched in 1976, and it has continued until today.
At first bi-annually, and since 1988 yearly, a guest of honour profits from the most significant event in the international book trade to present its culture and literature.
