ABA Book Buyer's Handbook Update - 11/13/02

Posted Wednesday, Nov 13, 2002

Since the recent launch of the Publisher Editing feature of the ABA Book Buyer's Handbook online at http://handbook.bookweb.org/ an increasing number of publishers, distributors, and wholesalers are using it to submit changes or add special offers to their company listings. Here is an outline of the most recent changes to the ABA Book Buyer's Handbook online.

ABA will complete the process of providing all companies included in the Handbook with a unique access code for their listings next week. Questions about access to the publisher editing feature of the Handbook online should be addressed to handbook@bookweb.org or (800) 637-0037, ext. 1263 or 1261.

Booksellers are strongly encouraged to alert ABA of changing terms and special offers that come to their attention. This can easily be done by using an online form available at http://handbook.bookweb.org/form.jsp or by sending an e-mail to handbook@bookweb.org.
