	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Rodney Bolt on the Frankfurt book fair
		Manuscripts were on sale at the Frankfurt fairs even before the invention of printing, though the first official book fair took place in 1485 and it wasn't until the middle of the 16th century that the book mart in Frankfurt became seen as the foremost in Christendom.
		The Frankfurt fair was crucial to the book trade, and when wars restricted travel on the Continent it offered a rare and important opportunity for dealers to meet.
		Frankfurt, Estienne wrote, was surrounded by fertile land that "cheere[d] the tables of the Fair with many sorts of wine, especially the Rhenish".

		Though it haunted the fair, for example, the word "dialogue" remained ambiguous, and not until Sunday, the closing day, did a discussion participant point out that if it is to be meaningful at all, it must be taken literally -- not as a façade for partisan standpoints.
		But it was largely in the light of such ambiguity that one came to appreciate the hyper real plenitude of Arab images on the fair grounds, from national flags fluttering outside the building and hanging flaccid inside, to portraits of (mainly historical) cultural figures lining the entrance hall.
		The inevitable happened at least once during the fair when the Los-Angeles based Jewish Simon Wiesenthal Centre sent an open letter to Volker Neumann demanding the removal of allegedly anti-Semitic books published by Horus and Merit, small-scale houses said to rally against the existence of Israel.

		The fair, which draws several hundred thousand visitors from Europe, Asia, and the Americas each year, is the largest book trade event of its kind in the world.

		One of the advantages of attending the fair is that those of us who work with publications from or about other countries or regions can meet their distributors halfway; more of them are able to travel to Frankfurt than to the United States.
