With dozens of booksellers still on the 2012 Winter Institute [4] waiting list, it is crucial for registered booksellers whose plans have changed to contact American Booksellers Association staff [5] with cancellation requests as soon as possible, so that waiting booksellers can take their places.

Booksellers on the waiting list will be notified on a first-come, first-served basis if space opens up.

Wi7, sponsored by the Ingram Content Group, will be held from Wednesday, January 18, through Friday, January 20, 2012, at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans’ French Quarter. The program offers 32 education sessions, special events, and a new format for some programming that is designed to create more interaction, more opportunities for organic learning and a fuller hands-on approach to education and professional bookseller development.

Complete details about Wi7, including travel discounts to New Orleans from American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Amtrak, are available on the Wi7 website [4]. Cancellations and questions should be sent to [email protected] [5].
