All of this year’s winners and finalists will be invited to the American Booksellers Association’s Celebration of Bookselling and Author Awards Lunch [8] on May 12 at BookExpo America [9].

Up to three booksellers per ABA member store location can make a reservation [8] for the Celebration lunch. Space at this popular, free event is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis until April 29 or the event reaches capacity, whichever comes first.

To help booksellers promote the finalists in newsletters and other marketing materials, the Indies Choice and E.B. White logos are available in BookWeb’s DIY Designs and Downloads. [12]
