The Collective Stand Audio Books presents new releases and bestsellers in German, issued by some well known and less familiar audio book publishers.

A showcase for the authors nominated in the long list of the German Book Prize. The showcase provides an insight into each candidate’s full oeuvre, and shows a representative cross-section of contemporary German language literature.

This exhibition consisted of 23 Gold and Silver award winning entries, as well as 179 titles nominated by a prestigious jury in the categories Photo books, History of photography/Theory of photography, and Photography text books. The awards recognise special achievements by photographers, editors and publishers, who have found particularly good solutions or presentational forms for photographic challenges. The German Photobook Prize is a project of the Baden Wurttemberg section of the Association of German Publishers and Booksellers

Two fabulous exhibitions: Book Art International and the competition for the "Most Beautiful German Books in 2012". Drop by and find out why it isn’t just the content of books that can charm you.
