| Mei Ha is at the Southern Conference on Women's History at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. She's finished setting up by now, and the Welcome and Plenary Session begins at 4:30.
It's quiet around here now—so I have the opportunity to "recollect in tranquility."
We've completed 11 conferences so far in 2018. In the book exhibit world—for some reason—things go very fast—so we haven't had the opportunity to report on every one of our meetings. But we've arranged a tableau or montage of photos below that provide a sense of what's been going on.

photos from our 2018 book exhibits. |
One of the most important developments of this year—is that we are working with fewer clients, but representing them in a deeper way. Please scroll down the page to see full table displays for Brill, Polity, The New Press, American Psychological Association and Springer Publishing Company.
We've also done book promotions for several of our clients—Brill, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Guilford, Stanford University Press and Verso—to our database of 30,000 scholars, professionals and students around the world.
After many years in the business, I've begun to realize that our central mission is to help make publishers—and their books—famous.
We have one more exhibit coming up next week—a meeting of the The International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy—at the Roosevelt Hotel in the heart of Manhattan. 700 are expected to attend.
Then we'll have a welcome break of six weeks until the meeting of the Rural Sociological Society meeting, coming up in Portland on July 26.
Best regards,

Director, Library of Social Science
P.S. The first book exhibit I ever organized was at the Roosevelt Hotel in 1987. I didn't really know what a book exhibit was then. But I signed up for one table—and displayed perhaps eight books. At the IARPP meeting coming up (31 years later) at the Roosevelt Hotel we'll have 12 tables—and over 350 books in the display. |
