The American Booksellers Association Lounge at BookExpo America [1] -- Room 515A in the West Building of the Los Angeles Convention Center -- will be the place for member booksellers to go for autographs from some of their favorite authors. To date, 20 authors are scheduled to appear in the lounge on Friday, May 30, and Saturday, May 31.
Returning this year on Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., is the Hyperion Café, where booksellers are invited to enjoy a light buffet lunch, courtesy of Hyperion, while meeting authors Mark Frost (The Match) and David Fuller (Sweetsmoke).
Lounge autographing events have become so popular that this year's schedule includes several authors from the same publisher signing together.
Here's a first look at the schedule. Updates and more about the ABA Lounge's other features will be announced in upcoming editions of Bookselling This Week.
