A special promotion offers ABA membership to used bookstores for just $100, half the annual price of used bookstore membership, if stores sign up before December 31, 2013.

Over the course of the next month, all active member stores will receive a phone call from a representative of ABA who will be asking the store owner or manager to answer a series of questions aimed at gathering current information about key contacts for a variety of member programs and initiatives.

This fall, bookstores that haven’t been members of ABA for the past two years can sign up online or at the regional shows for a free trial membership that will last until January 31, 2014. Trial membership provides an array of benefits, including access to world-class education and networking events.
