The exhibition area is projected by FRUIT in collaboration with Artelibro and will be managed by specialized staff which will give information, check on the space and sell editions.
Artelibro and Crudo will not retain any commission on sales of the publications.
Applications will be accepted until June 30, 2012.
For partecipation, a contribution to secretarial expenses in amount of € 150,00 + VAT is required. Books shipping charges will be at exhibitor’s charge. Apart from the above mentioned ones, no further costs will be applied to this service.
