More New Arrivals
December 2, 2021 The holiday season is upon us (did it seem to come earlier this year than in the past?). This week we are spotlighting more selections from recently acquired material, so perhaps there is something in this list that is enticing. If not, please visit the website to see all our available material in all the genres we support. Feel free to give us a call if you need a constultation.
New information pertaining to the California Book Fair in which we are participating in in person, there will be also a Virtual Book Fair component to this fair. More details coming.
Speaking of in person book fairs, we are looking forward to seeing you in person, if you can make it, at the California International Book Fair, February 11-13, 2022, at the Oakland Marriot City Center. The week prior to the Oakland fair we will be in southern California. If you have material to sell, we would be happy to make arrangements to see you (in either locale).
Also: April 21-24, 2022, the New York International Book Fair returns in person to the Park Avenue Armory. So, if all goes well, we are on the way back to great in person book fairs. Many of you have been able to visit smaller shows around the country and we hope to see you at the ABAA fairs. Shipping news: U.S. Postal service is not shipping either Priority International or First Class International to Australia.
