Overview

• The fair features 91 exhibitors, 131 stalls, and 1,700 book signings, making it the most ambitious edition in its 60-year history.
• Flood-affected bookstores, like La Moixeranga, are trading at the fair as part of their recovery efforts, with some planning to reopen physical stores by late May.
• Organizers secured a €130,000 emergency grant from the Generalitat Valenciana after delays in regular funding threatened the event's viability.
• The Fira del Llibre accounts for approximately 20% of annual revenue for participating bookstores and is expected to match last year's €1 million in sales.
• Stakeholders emphasize sustainable growth to consolidate the fair's expansion over the past 15 years and avoid overextension.
