»We came to Leipzig to explore the German market.
We were already familiar with the markets in
Belgium and France, we wanted to get an
impression of what it is like here. We travelled from
London by car especially. The visitors are very
nice – and are good buyers. The manga magazines
on our stand sold really well.«
