IN the run-up to its role as Guest of Honor at the 2025 Frankfurter Buchmesse (FBM, Frankfurt Book Fair) in Germany, the Philippines will present a large array of books from several publishers and authors in this year's edition of the annual book fair.

Organizers for the Philippine delegation in this year's FBM, to be held in October, said 700 books from 70 publishers, authors and creatives, which include genres such as graphic novel, children, new adult and education, will showcase the country's vibrant history, culture and heritage — the basis of its literary depth and richness.
