Signup for Bookseller/Publisher Focus Groups Ends May 3

In response to the success of the Bookseller/Publisher Focus Groups at Winter Institute 8, the American Booksellers Association has arranged for a series of focus group meetings to be held during BookExpo America [1]. Booksellers who are interested in meeting with publishers to discuss issues of common interest and mutual concern must sign up by May 3. [2]

Assignments to a specific publisher will be made randomly for one of six time slots listed below. An e-mail with assignments will be sent from ABA’s Mark Nichols during the week of May 13.
 
Participation in the focus groups is limited to two booksellers per ABA member company. A unique e-mail address is required for each bookseller. Requests for specific publishers and/or time slots cannot be accommodated, and booksellers are asked not to change appointments during the show.
