Our Mission
Our Mission: Helping Books Travel
The Frankfurt Book Fair has created several Book Information Centers throughout the world. In addition to the GBO in New York, offices exist in Beijing, Bucharest, Moscow, and Warsaw. Each office is a contact exchange and cultural mediator between the German book trade and that of the office’s host country.
Founded in 1998, the GBO is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote German books and licenses. It also acts as a liaison between the German and North American publishing communities. The GBO supports German rights holders as they sell their titles to North American publishers and works to make translated German titles accessible to a large reading audience in the U.S.
