This year's TIBE was also made special by having France as its Country of Honor. Guests thus included Andrei Makine, the Russian-born French author of Le Testament Francais and winner of France's prestigious Goncourt Prize; novelist Marc Levy; and the cartoonist Golo. In addition, numerous representatives from France Edition and Librairie Le Pigeonnier were involved with the exhibition from start to finish, contributing greatly to its success.
本屆「法國國家主題館」的精心籌畫也頗具特色，請到了包括以《法蘭西遺囑》獲得法國作家文學獎龔固爾獎的俄裔法籍作家 Andrei Makine，法國新銳作家 Marc Levy，以及法國名漫畫家 Golo 等，法國出版協會及著名的信鴿書店代表多人更是全程參與，為書展增色不少。
