What is a bookfair?

A bookfair is an event that brings together publishers, booksellers, authors, and readers to facilitate the buying and selling of books. They provide a platform for publishers to showcase their latest titles, for booksellers to stock up on inventory, and for readers to discover new books and meet their favorite authors. Bookfairs typically feature author readings, panel discussions, workshops, and book signings. They can be held at various locations, such as convention centers, hotels, and libraries. Some of the most well-known bookfairs include the London Book Fair, the Frankfurt Book Fair, and the BookExpo America.
