A public event where many publishers, booksellers, and authors gather to display and sell books.
From book + fair (marketplace/festival). Book fairs became major cultural events in the 15th century, with the Frankfurt Book Fair (founded 1455) being the oldest and most prestigious.
The Frankfurt Book Fair has been running continuously for over 500 years—it's where publishing deals worth millions are made, and where authors first discover they've been translated into languages they didn't know existed.
