NAIBA and NACS Sponsor Shop Talk

On Friday, September 23, at Colgate Bookstore in Hamilton, New York, Rob Stahl, the store's general manager, will present a shop talk session in a joint venture between the National Association of College Stores (NACS) and the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association (NAIBA).

Stahl, both a NAIBA board member and a member of the General Books Committee for NACS, told BTW that the subject matter should be relevant to both college booksellers and independent booksellers located in or near college towns. Although this is the first time that the two organizations are co-sponsoring a shop talk, Stahl feels that many of the topics on the agenda will interest all attendees. Discussion issues will include university support, use of websites, digital textbooks, textbook pricing, general book merchandising, and cross promotions.

The session, which is free and includes lunch, will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

For more information and to RSVP, booksellers should contact Stahl at [email protected].
