Liao Su Hsi-tsu, publisher at New Schoolmate Books, which is handling arrangements for next year's TIBE, points out that Taipei's fair is now the fourth largest in the world in terms of participating nations and publishing houses. It trails only the publishing trade shows held in Frankfurt, Germany and in Bologna, Italy, and the BEA exhibition in the US.
