[5]Independent booksellers attending BookExpo [6] are invited to join Penguin Random House to kick off the 2018 trade show with nightcaps at the New Yorker, a Wyndham Hotel.

The party will be held from 9:00 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, in the Crystal Ballroom at the New Yorker.

Thanks to a significant financial commitment from Reed Exhibitions, ABA member booksellers can reserve rooms at the New Yorker, Hotel ABA for 2018, at a rate of $200 per night, including all taxes and fees (a $33 per night added value). The ABA member hotel rate is available for the nights of Sunday, May 27, through Sunday, June 3, 2018; however, the room block is limited and reservations will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The New Yorker Hotel is located at 481 Eighth Avenue in New York City, between 34th and 35th Streets. To access Hotel ABA reservation information [7], booksellers will need a BookWeb username and password (e-mail [email protected] [8] for login details). The deadline to get this rate is May 14 or when the block sells out, whichever comes first.

Booksellers can register for free badges to BookExpo [9] by providing their ABA member ID number during the registration process. More information about ABA’s programming at BookExpo can be found on BookWeb.org [10].
