Cape Town Book Fair


Thank you!

The Cape Town Book Fair thanks all exhibitors, trade visitors, authors and everyone who was part of this great experience, for participating in the 5th edition of the Cape Town Book Fair.

This year's Cape Town Book Fair had a lot of "firsts" on offer, one of them being the Trade Day that was dedicated to exhibitors and trade visitors exclusively. The Pickn Pay Chef's Theatre presented great chefs on the public days of the Fair. With 273 exhibitors and more than 34 000 visitors the Book Fair was once again a successful event.

We look forward to hosting you at the 2011 Cape Town Book Fair! Information about CTBF 2011 will be available shortly.

Claudia Kaiser and the CTBF Team
