Beijing International Book Fair

The Beijing International Book Fair is now considered by many as one of the top four international book fairs in the world. The Chinese market for English-language titles is growing at an astonishing rate, as the Chinese government has made learning English mandatory for all Chinese children. Little wonder then that many first-time U.S. and U.K publishers also participate in the event.
