Feature — Sales record in the bookstore at the fair, full house in Norway's pavilion, huge international media attention and growth in the number of visitors at the fair*. The number of private visitors increased by 9.2 per cent from last year, not least thanks to Norway's program as Guest of Honour - "a crowd-puller" according to the Director of Frankfurter Buchmesse Juergen Boos.
