The South African Book Fair (previously known as the Cape Town Book Fair) is an international book fair in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is one of many similar events around the country. The fair started through a joint venture between the Publishers Association of South Africa (PASA) and the Frankfurt Book Fair.[1] It was established in 2006 partially in response to the discontinuation of previous literary events, such as the Harare Book Fair and the Zimbabwe International Book Fair.[2][3] The South African Book Fair features events including "authors’ readings, book launches, panel discussions and seminars".[4]
The 2009 fair had more than 43,000 visitors.[5] The 2010 fair had over 33,000 visitors and focused on publisher-centered events.[6]
Other visitors include Cape Town's Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport in 2012.[24]
