Cape Town Book Fair in new format 2012
The Cape Town Book Fair organisers announce that the Cape Town Book Fair will not be staged in 2011, but in a new and remodeled format in 2012, along with the IPA Publishers Congress which is going to be held in Cape Town 15 - 17 June 2012.
The reason for this new move is that publishers in South Africa have voiced their support for a biennale Fair, starting in 2012.
We thank all exhibitors and interested parties for their support and very much hope to be able to accommodate their needs and wishes again in 2012. A planning committee will start working and planning a revamped Cape Town Book Fair for 2012 very soon and will be announcing new details for the fair as soon as they become available.
