International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.
Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “They’re Still with You!: The Impact of Family and Friends” by Gerald Perschbacher. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
“They’re Still with You!: The Impact of Family and Friends” by Gerald Perschbacher is a heartfelt reflection on the people who shape our lives, from parents to friends who take on parental roles. Born in the booming post–World War II years, Perschbacher has lived through eras of immense change, giving him a broad perspective on family dynamics across generations. In this book, he draws from those experiences to speak in a warm, conversational style that feels both personal and universal. His message is simple yet profound: the impact of family and friends continues to live on in us, long after their direct presence is gone.
Every reader, no matter their background, has been influenced by parents, guardians, or close companions. Perschbacher does not present a clinical or detached study of these relationships; instead, he shares his wisdom through storytelling and reflection that feels deeply relatable. It is both a mirror and a guide—helping readers appreciate the legacies within their own lives while inspiring them to be intentional about the impact they make on others. The book is comforting, inspiring, and filled with reminders that love, guidance, and memory are gifts that continue long after someone has physically left our side.
“They’re Still with You!: The Impact of Family and Friends” is more than a reflection—it’s a celebration of life, legacy, and love. Gerald Perschbacher offers a timeless reminder that those we cherish never truly leave us; they live on through our words, actions, and choices. This book is perfect for anyone seeking comfort, inspiration, or simply a moment to pause and appreciate the enduring power of relationships.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
