Leipzig Book Fair (Leipziger Buchmesse)
Smaller and significantly more reader-facing than its Frankfurt counterpart, the Leipzig Book Fair is Germany's premier celebration of the act of reading itself, with the Leipzig Reads programme spilling 3,000 events across the city's cafes, theatres, and bookstores in addition to the main exhibition halls. The fair awards the Leipzig Book Prize, including a major translation honour, and runs alongside the parallel comics convention Manga-Comic-Con. For a publisher, Leipzig is the spring inflection point in the German-language calendar.
