Can you spot what's different about the entrance to the Bologna Book Fair this year? It was my 17th visit to the children's fair, and the first time I have ever seen it without its flags. Not sure what this meant: some obscure reference to Brexit, perhaps. The women in the press office hadn't noticed.
I wonder how many of the 1,300 exhibitors did? "Colleagues not competitors" as they were hopefully described in the opening ceremony.
