In 1975, Peter Weidhaas was elected as the Director of The Frankfurt Book Fair. It was a surprise choice. Little did he know that he would preside over revolutionary changes in one of the most important cultural expositions in the world. But first he had to answer the question of his own identity. "See You In Frankfurt!" is the story of how the Frankfurt Book Fair found its soul.
