	Being accosted by children was a frequent experience, and we would have been glad for just one “professional day” in the fair. It would also have been useful to have more sound-proofing around presentations, since attempts at trying to hear sessions (professionally-oriented, author readings, and talks) frequently resulted in the speakers being drowned out by the ambient noise from the fair – or the other audience members talking on their cell phones. Nevertheless, we did manage to hear some amazing presentations.		Being accosted by children was a frequent experience, and we would have been glad for just one “professional day” in the fair.

-	The goal of publishers is to acquire all of the rights at once. This system developed during the 1990s and a “hyper active” or even “hyped” market. Now the market feels quiet, which in these terms is not good. They pointed out that sometimes bestsellers in translation don’t come from the US or UK market, or go through independent publishers, e.g. [http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3AStieg+Larsson&qt=hot_author Stieg Larsson] (Personally, I can’t wait until the ~~3d vol~~ comes out in English) & the [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71336412 Elegance of the Hedgehog].	+	The goal of publishers is to acquire all of the rights at once.

	There’s been a reassessment of who is bought and which rights are bought. The US and UK markets are seen as more open to translations then they have been, but it’s still at the level of small gestures. In contrast to the low percentage of translations into English (ca 3%), Holland’s market is 60% translations. Translations from and into Spanish and Chinese are growing markets.
