A couple of obvious observations to be made at the LDF and trade fairs in general, the bigger and wealthier the publisher the bigger more bespoke the stand, being produced with higher quality materials, some having a second floor ontop with a bar, table a chairs to sit down and do business out of the way of everyone else,

Smaller publishers are set up close to others that will either have a rub off effect on their stand or foreign national tend to congregate close to one another in a fellowship. Some stands display a certain novelty to try something different, a double decker bus (GMC disribution), or creating a luxurious environment (Taschen), The displaying of books at a trade fair be seen as both boring and inspiring depending on where you look.
