International Book Fair for Small Publishers and Artists' books

You are cordially invited to visit this book fair.

Nearly 260 exhibitors from more than 10 countries and 5.000 visitors form the largest marketplace in Europe for books by small publishers and for private presses.

Every two years for four days, visitors will find what has been produced in workshops on printing presses, some of which are decades old: Approximately 10,000 titles, of which 1000 are new publications. The activities at this central meeting point always have a cultural focus as well. More than 30 cultural and book-related events inform attendees about the latest ideas and trends for the publishing of literature and art and provide entertainment as well.

The Mainzer Minipressen-Messe also gives the opportunity for development: Seminars for young talents in the publishing trade, for up and coming publishers, or workshops by experts on red-hot subjects, whatever the case, this International Book Fair is frequently ahead of its times and offers themes which will prove to be trends in the coming years. Be it in the areas of multimedia, audio books or the internet, at the Mainz Minipressen-Messe you will experience the authors and their publishers live and close up.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 26th International Book Fair for Small Publishers and Private Presses in 2023 in the "Rheingoldhalle" of Mainz in Germany.
