New challenges at Frankfurt Book Fair

Digitisation will shape discussion at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's largest trade event for books, which begins this Wednesday. Over the course of the five-day event, some 300,000 visitors will see what 7,500 exhibitors from 110 countries have to offer. Rights and licences are always central to discussion at the Fair, and the growth of the digital trade has helped contribute to a 30% growth in the buying and selling of work.
