Frankfurt Book Fair

Sandro’s Books, the publishing house Sandro founded in Tbilisi in 2009, at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in 2017 and 2018.

In 2017 it was one of some twenty publishers from twenty countries invited through the Frankfurt Invitation Programme, which the book fair runs with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office for small independent publishers. The programme, 5–16 October, included seminars on book design and on rights and licences, and a small stand of its own at the fair: Sandro’s Books, Tbilisi.

In 2018 Georgia was Guest of Honour. Sandro’s Books was shown on the Georgian stand; Sandro held a book class for children there, presented Anbani, his interactive Georgian alphabet app, and spoke about his projects.
