The Latest on Wi5 Hotel Reservations, Room Shares & More

The Doubletree San Jose, the headquarters hotel for the American Booksellers Association's Fifth Annual Winter Institute, is sold out. Currently, more than 50 booksellers are on a waiting list hoping to book a room. If you have a room and no longer plan to attend, you're urged to contact ABA immediately, so your room can be filled by a waiting bookseller.

If you're still attending -- and ABA hopes you are -- you can reduce your costs by sharing your room with another bookseller. Booksellers interested in sharing their rooms are asked to send an e-mail to [email protected]. ABA will try to match you with someone from the waiting list. Requests will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

For waiting booksellers who would like to book a room at an alternative hotel near the Doubletree (at 2050 Gateway Place in San Jose), here's a list of accommodations near the event hotel.
