The Guadalajara Book Fair is a key event in the field of general book fairs, second only to Frankfurt, in a part of the world that has a special interest in Italy and that continues to represent for BCBF an area of great potential and a point of reference for the entire Latin American and Spanish-speaking publishing world. It represents an important opportunity for networking and growth for BCBF.
The Illustrators Survival Corner – one of the most successful initiatives developed as part of BCBF, in collaboration with Mimaster Illustrazione – the exhibitions Italian Excellence. Illustrations for Italo Calvino and Honour List – Turn the World Upside Down together with a rich programme of events, formed the main pillars at Guadalajara.
