Introducing: ABA Members Forums

Category: Publishing , Bookselling
Thanks to Bookselling This Week for introducing us to the Bookweb Member Forums.

According to the website:
"Topics under discussion this week in the Bookseller-to-Bookseller Forum include:
  • Magazine distributors
  • Book signings by self-published authors
  • Sources for French-language literature
  • Romances featuring Native Americans
  • Buy-back programs, and
  • Fun titles for back-to-school displays
In the Ask ABA Forum, there are queries, and responses, about Hotel ABA 2007, next year's Winter Institute, and a new Standard Chart of Accounts.

ABA member booksellers are also invited to join in discussions in the Ask BookSense.com, Inventory Control, and Education forums. Forms and other business-related documents can be shared among booksellers through an enhancement added to the Education Forum earlier this year..."

You must be a registered member with a valid American Booksellers Association number to view the topics and participate in the conversations.

To create a membership and join in, have your ABA number ready, and click here.

New Book Search Engine Launches

Category: Publishing , E-commerce , Bookselling
Bookhitch.com, a new search engine devoted solely to books, has just launched.
The engine is searchable by keyword, or via an extensive list of genres, some 50+.
Bookhitch also offers authors and publishers the option to sell their books directly via the site.

With both free and paid listings for submitted books - the site makes it easy for small presses and authors to gain more exposure for their work and hopes to provide an avenue for readers to locate hard-to-find titles that may not be available at their local bookstores.

Check out the site's FAQ page here, to learn more about how it works.
