holiday catalog

Stars

Publishers: SCIBA has until Aug. 15 to add a few more titles. Call the SCIBA office today!

Booksellers:

The titles are in from publishers, and the designers are hard at work creating a terrific looking catalog. Publisher support for the catalog is up almost 15 % from last year and the selection is strong. Best of all, the art for the catalog is from STARS, illustrated by Southern California's Marla Frazee. Thank you Marla and Beach Lane Books!

Return the support for the catalog while taking advantage of a strong marketing piece for your store. As always your store may have as many of the catalogs as you can possibly use for FREE as well as free imprinting with a minimum order of 1000.

The catalog will be available in a format to post on store websites and through ABA's e-commerce sites. SCIBA's SoCalBookScene.com, Facebook page and Twitter will feature the catalog and its titles with encouragement to shop for the holidays at local independent bookstores. And, of course, we will direct them to the online Guide for Independent Bookstores so that they may find you!

Suggestion: If your web site sells e-books, say so! Include a message to customers that lets them know with your web site address. Perfect place would be in your store's information on the back of the catalog.
