US Book Show
Booksellers, librarians, readers, and publishers converge at PW’s (Publishers Weekly) US Book Show to network with their fellow professionals, and look for information about upcoming titles. The US Book Show is an online festival that enables its attendees to hear top speakers from the book industry, and discover new books through an online exhibit from various publishers.
Guadalajara Book Fair
This fair is focused on professionals and the public alike. Over nine days, Guadalajara is transformed into the epitome of the book industry, as book enthusiasts congregate to experience one of the renowned international literary festivals.
Beijing International Book Fair
In the past twenty years the BIBF has developed into a prominent feature in the publishing industry. The 2013 fair boasted over 2000 exhibitors from 76 countries, incorporating copyright trade, book trade, cultural events, displays, consultation services and professional networking.
How It Works
- At each show, your book will be assigned a number, either based on its Dewey Decimal subject category at library shows, or based on where it lies alphabetically by publisher at international venues.
- Your book will be displayed along with other titles in a prime position on the exhibit floor.
- Your book will be displayed face-out on the shelf.
- A sticker bearing a unique QR code will be placed on the lower left hand side of the cover of the books that will be displayed. Book fair attendees can then scan the code using the CBE Book Fair Buddy app to learn more about your book. Using the app, they can add your book to their to-be-read list, share that with friends, family, or on their social media pages and even get connected to a variety of reseller sites where they can purchase your book.
