Anne and Jonathan have now returned from a hectic few days at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where they saw many old contacts and made some promising new ones.
They were also presented with a framed certificate (signed by Herr Boos, the director of the fair) in recognition of Market House Books' 25th year of attendance at Frankfurt.
The co-founders of Market House Books, the late Dr Alan Isaacs and the late Dr John Daintith, would have been very proud of this achievement.
Mrs Alison Isaacs and Mrs Eve Daintith would like to take this opportunity to thank all the loyal staff, past and present, who have contributed to the success of the company throughout the years.
Frankfurt Book Fair 14 - 18 October 2009
