Lunch With Indie Faves at BEA

Booksellers at all ABA member stores are invited to reserve a spot at this year's Celebration of Bookselling Luncheon at BookExpo America. The free event -- open exclusively to the owners and staff of ABA member stores -- will be held in the Special Events Hall at New York's Javits Convention Center on Friday, May 29.

Formerly known as the Book Sense Author Luncheon, the event will bring together booksellers and dozens of their favorite authors whose books have been past Book Sense Picks or, more recently, Indie Next List Great Reads or Notables. The luncheon will also include the presentation of the 2009 Indies Choice Book Awards.

Booksellers who would like to attend should register individually as soon as possible via an electronic form on Bookweb.org. Questions regarding the luncheon may be addressed to ABA Senior Director of Publisher Initiatives Mark Nichols at [email protected].
