ABOUT THE EVENT
Dead or alive? No other branch predicts its own demise as often as the book industry. Yet despite the apodictic “book-is-dead” lament of many experts, countless new books are again being published this year. Now, parallel to the Frankfurt Book Fair, a new event is being launched, dedicated to the printing of books and magazines. Self-publishing in design and art is the topic of this fair, with the title “First Issue – Dead or Alive”.
