Day One in the Books

So the first day of the biggest fair in the world is officially ending in about two minutes. I can't honestly describe how gigantic it is here, with all the halls being so huge and there being so many halls. The important thing however, isn't the size, but the quantity and quality of the traffic (and parties).



Traffic was pretty much steady for all 9 and a half hours (yeah...nine and a half). New books are being found around every corner, and though I don't personally know of any deals being made (yet), I'm sure there are many each hour, and certainly plenty to come in the coming days--and for those in the Combined Book Exhibit, the weeks and months.



As for the parties, the quality and quantity are both high. German beer, books and people? You should definately come to Frankfurt!
