ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC CATALOGUE
If you own the rights to titles or books published by your company, then the Frankfurt Rights Catalogue will give you the opportunity to exploit digital information technology by instantly presenting this information to the global market. The information will be available on CD-ROM (30,000 print run) and the Internet http://www.frankfurt-book-fair.com/virtual.

The Frankfurt Rights Catalogue is the core of "Frankfurt Virtual" and provides electronic links to the Directory of Exhibitors. This is the "Who's Who" of exhibitors at the Book Fair, and includes links to their Internet homepages as well as email addresses for rights contacts. It also shows the Hall Plan.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE
The registration deadline for your titles in the first edition of "Frankfurt Virtual" is 31 July, 1999. If you miss this deadline, you can still submit registrations throughout August.

THE DEADLINE OF THE PROJECT HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD. Feel free to register your titles continuously.
