In der Mitteilung des Organising Committee von der Destrée Organisation SPRL (Brüssel) heißt es unter anderem: "We have invested ourselves in this event for many years and organised the 24th edition in 2008. Unfortunately the last two years has seen the number of exhibitors and visitors decrease. A survey of the Belgian market revealed that the interest from the trade has diminished. It appeared to us that to organise such a fair without the support from the Belgian dealers wouldn’t make sense. We decided not to organise the fair in 2009 and are looking at the possibilities to organise a similar event in the near future."
Die Messe wurde bislang vom belgischen Antiquariatsverband und ILAB-Mitglied "La Chambre professionelle Belge de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne" (CLAM-BBA) getragen und von der Destrée Organisation durchgeführt.
