Current situation

Dear readers, dear Book World friends,

Dear friends, dear readers, At its meeting on April 1, 2020, the board of directors of the Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers has decided to cancel this year’s Book World Prague.

In the past weeks the option of moving Book World to an autumn date had been pondered. The board has now responsibly assessed the situation, reaching the conclusion that future development is too uncertain and threats faced by the entire book profession too grave for a successful and dignified book fair to be staged.

We believe that you will understand our decision and offer us all the more support at Book World Prague to be held in May 2021, which, as we all hope, will be a celebration of the book profession’s survival.
