TRADE SHOW EXHIBIT PROGRAM

The Benefit:
Through IBPAs Book Trade Show Exhibit Program, members can purchase the following at major
domestic and international book trade shows:
Individual displays within IBPAs Cooperative Booth on the trade show floor
Full or shared booth space within IBPAs complex on the trade show floor
To see which shows IBPA will be attending this year, visit https://www.ibpaonline.org/benefits/marketing-programs/ibpa-staffed-exhibits/. To view photos from previous
IBPA booths, visit http://www.ibpa-online.org/about/photo-gallery/.
About Domestic Book Trade Shows:

The focus of domestic book trade shows is to provide title visibility to buyers and to solicit orders.
In addition to onsite book display, those members who meet the submission deadline will be
included in IBPAs onsite book catalog, which will include book title, ISBN, price,
distributors/wholesalers, company name, and website. This information will also be listed on the
IBPA website for one year.
During BookExpo America some orders may be written for specific titles. At the American Library
Association (ALA) shows, orders are rarely written since librarians must complete purchase orders
unavailable to them at the show. Most buyers at these trade shows prefer ordering from their
normal channels of distribution.
Its important to note, then, that although IBPA will take orders for titles, the major focus of
domestic book trade shows is to:
Present information for future ordering by booksellers or librarians.

Talk with booksellers, librarians, and other professionals who stop by the IBPA booth.
Gather names and addresses for participating members use.
Discuss foreign rights with attending foreign publishers.
At the completion of each domestic book trade show, a report is sent to member participants.
Best case results: Orders and/or other types of sales.
Average results: Visibility and ordering information distributed to potential buyers.
Worst case results: Exposure to the market.
About International Book Trade Shows:
The focus of the international book trade shows is to generate interest in foreign rights sales.
IBPA will negotiate on behalf of titles up to the point of contractual signature. In most cases,
however, reading copies are requested first: a reading copy request is the typical first step
toward obtaining foreign rights sales.
In addition to onsite book display, those members who meet the submission deadline will be
included in IBPAs onsite book catalog, which will include book title, ISBN, price, company name,
rights sold, publication date, and website. This information will also be listed on the IBPA website
for one year.
At the completion of each international book trade show, a report is sent to member
participants.
Best case results: An offer or offers will be made for your title.
Average results: Reading copies will be requested, which is the first step toward an offer.
Worst case results: Exposure to the market.

REVIEWS
ABAS ADVANCE ACCESS PROGRAM
50% DISCOUNT
The Benefit:
IBPA members receive a 50% discount off the American Bookseller Associations
(ABAs) Advance Access Program.
About the Advance Access Program:
Advance Access is a twice-monthly email sent by ABA to member bookstores containing offers to
receive galleys, reading copies, or finished books for review. After receiving the title from a
publisher, a store can decide whether to carry it. They could also decide to nominate the title for
the Indie Next List. ABA makes no promises, but the Advance Access Program has proved to be a
very effective way to get the word out about titles.
Fees:
Due to the volume of offers and the staff time it takes to process and aggregate them, ABA
charges $150 per title. IBPA members pay only $75 a savings of 50%.
After emailing information to Peter Reynolds (see How to Participate below), IBPA members
should send a check for $75, payable to American Booksellers Association, to:
American Booksellers Association
200 White Plains Rd. Tarrytown, NY 10591
ATTN: Ana Gonzalez
To pay by credit card, IBPA members should call Ana Gonzalez at (914) 591-2665 ext 6622 or
email her at ana@bookweb.org to make arrangements.
How It Works:
IBPA members should send a detailed book description to Peter Reynolds at
peter@bookweb.org. The description should include: title, author, publisher, ISBN, subject
category, publication date, the number of free copies to be offered, a maximum three-sentence
description, and an email address to which the booksellers can write to directly request a copy.
An example follows:
TITLE XYZ by David Smith, (Publisher, ISBN: 0-000-00000-0, $23.95, hardcover,
September 2008, Mystery/Thriller). A three-sentence description of the title here.
No more than 70 words, please. Number of galleys available.
mailto:yournamehere@emailaddress.com
Please do NOT include website information or attach press releases or jacket images. Due to high
volume, it may take 2-3 weeks until word of your book offer is emailed to the bookstores.

and knowing theyll be happy with their purchase. NetGalley works wonderfully with my NOOK
Color as well so that makes it so convenient.
