Book Fair In The Air – Frankfurt 2012
It is that time of the year again – our hearts turn to Frankfurt. Yes, MapsofWorld’s seventh year at the Frankfurt Book Fair – the biggest book and media fair in the world. More than 7,500 international exhibitors from 100 countries are attending the fair this year. Over 3,200 events are scheduled to be held here between October 10 and October 14, 2012.
Each October, representatives from the book and media industry gather here, in Frankfurt. Booksellers, agents, publishers, authors, digital media providers and a number of other professionals head to Frankfurt from all parts of the world.
MapsofWorld has made a significant mark in the world of tourism and travel publications including atlases, and travel guides. For over seven years we have represented the world of cartographic publications at this fair.

This year our offerings at the fair include an attractive set of illuminated globes, clean and beautiful maps in all sizes and customized cartography services. But the show-stealer has been our collection of mobile apps. World Atlas Pro, our mapping app for iOS and for the Android platform has been a huge hit with those who have been visiting us. With three more days to go, we feel like we have just about gotten started.
Frankfurt Book Fair never fails to remind us of our love for the work we do – maps, data, research, technology, and most importantly designing what is important to you, the MapsofWorld family.
