In memory of Peter Mayer

Sadly a few days ago Peter Mayer, the North American and International publishing, long-time friend of the Bologna Children's Book Fair, left us.

During his long career as a publisher he brought his genius and his visionary and creative ability to the service of publishing houses like Orion Press, Avon Books, Pocket Books, Pearson, Penguin Random House, Overlook Press, which was his father founded in 1971. We’d to thank him for adding so much to all this wonderful work.
