I spent three days at the biggest book fair in the world, the Frankfurt Buchmesse. A ‘messe’ is a fair, which is different from a ‘fest’. I guess; dunno, don’t speak German. A messe celebrates a thing, while fests just celebrate. Think Octoberfest and all the attendant mayhem. A messe is also mayhem, but with a theme: in this case, books. Not beer. Although there was plenty of that, and I got a bit messe – dup.
See what I did there?
