From Publishing Without Boundaries: How to Think, Work, and Win in the Global Marketplace, by Michael Ross
The Frankfurt Book Fair...is by far the biggest, the most talked about, and the one fair that continues to grow year after year...Most publishers think about the annual book-fair cycle as beginning with Frankfurt, even though it takes place in the fourth quarter of the calendar year. Big titles get their international debut at Frankfurt, and many of the more substantial deals are sealed or announced at the fair...For all practical purposes, the new publishing year begins with this fair, and publishers finalize their spring lists at this time.
