The Frankfurt Book Fair has canceled its physical, in-person fair and will proceed as an entirely virtual, online-only event. It will take place, as scheduled, October 12-18. The fair cited travel restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic as the reason for the cancellation. In an online interview following the announcement Juergen Boos, director of the Frankfurt Book Fair, said 800 exhibitors and 40 national stands were affected by the cancellation.
