The order deadline for the 2016 ABC Best Books for Young Readers catalog is this Friday, September 9. Ordering is via an electronic form on BookWeb.org [6].

The full-color, 20-page consumer circular will feature more than 200 frontlist and backlist titles for children and teens; the full title list can be viewed here [7]. The catalog is slated to be in stores in early October. Because the catalog carries no fourth-quarter branding, it is appropriate for use throughout the year.

The cover features an illustration from Ada Twist, Scientist, written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts (Abrams Books for Young Readers), as well as space for the store name, address, and other details.

Members of the ABC Children’s Group at ABA (ABC Group) will automatically receive 250 free catalogs with no imprinting. ABA stores that have opted to receive the Children’s White Box mailing will automatically receive 20 free catalogs with no imprinting. The online order form [6] is for purchasing additional catalogs, either imprinted or plain.

Additional catalogs are available in units of 500 copies. The cost for each additional 500-unit is $25 for ABC Group members and $35 for non-members, shipping included. The one-time plate cost for imprinting, if desired, is $75 for ABC Group members and $125 for non-members. (Full details are available on the order form [6].)

Orders of up to 5,000 copies may be placed via the online form. For larger orders, stores should contact ABC Group Manager Matthew Zoni via e-mail [8] or at (800) 637-0037 [9], ext. 7551. ABA members interested in joining the ABC Group should contact Member Relationship Manager Catherine Cusick via e-mail [10] or at (800) 637-0037 [9], ext. 7566.
