About ABA

The American Booksellers Association’s Board of Directors met on January 20–21, 2019, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, just prior to the 14th Winter Institute.

ABA has announced four director candidates to stand for election to the ABA Board, as well as the Board’s selection for president and vice president, who must be ratified by membership.

Bookselling This Week has compiled all previous coverage of Winter Institute 14, as well as this week’s articles recapping the event.

From Long Beach in 2006 to Baltimore in 2020, here’s a map highlighting all of the locations that have hosted (or will soon host) indie booksellers for this annual event.

All Winter Institute attendees are invited to share their thoughts with the American Booksellers Association.

A new section on the American Booksellers Association’s website invites booksellers to create a store profile, adjust their e-mail preferences, and update their current store buyers.

The current membership year expires on January 31, so stores are encouraged to submit their dues renewal right away to avoid a break in ABA benefits.

Approximately 700 booksellers from 387 stores joined more than 150 authors, 120 publisher partners, and nearly 50 international guests at ABA’s largest educational event.

The next edition of Bookselling This Week will arrive in your inbox late on Friday, January 25, with reports and plenty of photos from Winter Institute 14 in Albuquerque.
