Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Orders for additional copies of this year’s ABC Best Books for Children Catalog must be placed by September 1 via BookWeb’s online order form. Members of the ABC Children’s Group at ABA (ABC Group) will automatically receive 250 free catalogs with no imprinting. ABA stores that have opted to receive the Children’s White Box mailing will automatically receive 20 free catalogs with no imprinting. The online order form is for purchasing additional catalogs, either imprinted or plain.

Additional catalogs are available in units of 500 copies. The cost for each additional 500-unit is $25 for ABC Group members and $35 for non-members, shipping included. The one-time plate cost for imprinting, if desired, is $75 for ABC Group members and $125 for non-members. (Full details are available on the order form.)

For orders of more than 5,000 copies, stores should contact ABC Group Manager Matthew Zoni via e-mail or at (800) 637-0037, ext. 7551. ABA members interested in joining the ABC Group should contact Member Relationship Manager Catherine Cusick via e-mail or at (800) 637-0037, ext. 7566.

The full-color, 20-page consumer circular is slated to be in stores in early October. It will feature more than 200 fully vetted frontlist and backlist titles, including award winners and critically acclaimed titles, all suggested by ABA member booksellers. (Watch for the list of titles in an upcoming edition of BTW.)  The catalog carries no fourth-quarter branding so booksellers can use it throughout the year. The catalog cover, which was chosen by the ABC Advisory Council, features an illustration from A Library Book for Bear by Bonny Becker and illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton, published by Candlewick Press.
