To mark the 5th anniversary of the Cape Town Book Fair we will offer you a fulminate programme with a whole lot of informative, entertaining, interesting, funny and amazing events during the CTBF. The 1st day of the fair - 30 July 2010 - will be solely dedicated to publishers, institutional buyers and rights agents. On that day, CTBF is organising matchmaking sessions to facilitate new business partnerships as well as hosting seminars that address the latest trends in the industry. Please check our professional programme for more information and registration.

Meanwhile, just like every year, readers remain in the focus, with a broad array of public seminars, author events and readings. Join us at the Dalro Forum, our literary forum on the floor, or at our Kid's Zone which offers educational entertainment and reading promotion activities for children. Take part in discussions and enjoy readings in English, Afrikaans and other languages, visit our show kitchen and watch international chefs prepare their favourite recipies. Join our Cape Town Book Fair programme, where the story begins...
