- Leipzig Book Fair | Leipziger Buchmesse
- The Leipzig Book Fair is Germany’s second-largest book fair. As with Frankfurt, it is an international fair, although on a decidedly more modest and focused scale than its larger cousin. In Leipzig, beyond stellar representation from German publishers, one finds primarily publishers from Central and Eastern Europe. The Leipzig Book Fair has also had an integrated antiquarian fair, which has grown in scope and size each year.
