Book fair 2023

With the three-year anniversary of the pandemic’s official start date just around the corner, the global book industry—at least outside of Asia—has generally returned to business as usual, with tentpole events being held in person. In the U.S., the ALA has launched a new wintertime conference (LibLearnX), and PW’s own U.S. Book Show is mulling over its first in-person events. Abroad, such extra-European shows as Guadalajara and Sharjah are growing in audience and influence. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the first half of the year, and be sure to save up for air travel—it’s not getting any cheaper.
