IBF Now Accepting Orders for Calendars & More

The International Booksellers Federation (IBF), a non-governmental organization of booksellers associations and booksellers from around the world, is offering a variety of products in celebration of its 50th anniversary. These include IBF's much-anticipated 2007 50 Unique Bookshops Calendar and T-shirts, bags, caps, and bookmarks all featuring the saying, "I [image of a heart] My Bookshop."

The calendar, which includes photos of nine U.S. bookstores, will be ready to ship by the end of September. The U.S. bookstores included in the calendar are A Room of One's Own Feminist Bookstore in Madison, Wisconsin; City Lights Booksellers and Publishers in San Francisco; Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, Massachusetts; McLean & Eakin, Booksellers in Petoskey, Michigan; Snowbound Books in Marquette, Michigan; The Spotty Dog Books & Ale in Hudson, New York; Tattered Cover Book Store in Denver; Titcomb's Book Shop in East Sandwich, Massachusetts; and University Book Store in Mill Creek, Washington.

The calendar will also feature five UNESCO languages: Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. A dummy of the calendar in PDF format and ordering information for all products are available on the IBF's website, www.ibf-booksellers.org.
