On arriving at the Olympia Book Fair on Friday 6th June, we were greeted by a long queue of people waiting to enter. There were 151 exhibitors participating from across the globe and Udo
Göllmann and I had the pleasure of speaking to a selection of them.
Though there was a steady stream of visitors, booksellers were fairly reserved about their sales. All in all, the pinch of the recession seems to be being felt, but not too strongly. Books are still being bought and sold, and there really were some beautiful creations on sale.
We hope that the fair was a success for all of the booksellers there. Should you wish to read more about the Olympia Book Fair, you can visit the website here.
