NAIPR at BEA in
Los Angeles May 30-June 1, 2008
NAIPR has reserved Booth # 4108 in the
West Hall of this year's BEA.
As you have come to expect, the booth will
be equipped for NAIPR Rep Members and Associate Members to schedule
meetings.
Paul Williams has started a sign-up sheet
for meeting reservations-for both rep members and publishers-space
is eminently available. The meeting space is available on a first
come, first serve basis for all members in good standing.
Call Paul and reserve or consider the disadvantages
of being "at SEA" at "BEA."
Please don't wait to order
your badges; last-minute badge orders are complicated, confusing,
and just plain unnecessary.
Don't delay, email Paul
Williams and provide the following information for each
badge recipient:
-
-
Name of group or other affiliation
to appear on the badge
-
City where located (can be
home office or city of residency)
No badges will be distributed without payment.
Just multiply the number of badges by $65 and drop a check in the
mail to:

BEA Badges
PMB 157, 111 East 14th Street
New York, NY 10003-4103
BEA badges available through NAIPR
Price holding steady at $65 each
Once again Exhibitor badges customized with
your company's name will be available through NAIPR. The cost to
NAIPR is $65 per badge. The cost to Members is $65 per badge. This
is a savings of $65 off the regular price!
Think guerilla marketing, be independent,
raise your profile, and think branding! NAIPR is here to support
you; we are more influential than you might have previously thought.
"Frontlist-on-Floppy" is
now "Frontlist PlusT"
The evolution of "Frontlist-on-Floppy"
that began this season with the introduction of CD-ROM delivery
of publishers' frontlist files will culminate next season with
the national re-launch of our vital service to booksellers, a new
look and name, and the ability to dial-up and/or FTP publishers'
files to your account's operating system.
Look for our pamphlet and other marketing
materials at Book Expo America in Los Angeles May 30 - June 1,
2008.
With BEA at the end of May - beginning of
June 2008, we advise our publishers to set their target-finished-catalog
delivery date so that catalogs are arriving in LA before the advance
shipping warehouse cut-off date of May 20, 2008. This will also
help us in gathering and processing Frontlist PlusT information
in time for our itineraries.
Important Notice Concerning ISBN-13
Although the industry is now in transition
to the 13-digit ISBN, it is important to print both the
10-digit number and the 13-digit number in your catalogs and brochures.
This will enable us to serve all members
of the bookselling community that benefit from our service. Please
send all information, complete in one submission, to:
