I hope everyone’s had a great year
since we last got together in Crystal
City in 2014. NAIBA’s had a busy year,
adding 25 new bookstore members and
sponsoring a host of programs, bringing
booksellers together and increasing
our visibility with publishers. Our
board’s main objective is to fi nd ways
to creatively spend the money we raise
through advertising etc. by offering our
programs at no cost to our members
and providing discounts and rebates
whenever applicable. We’ll continue to
do so in the upcoming year and we hope
that all of you are able to take part.
We have a great line-up of speakers and
programming for this year’s conference.
Like always, when our great booksellers
get together, there’s bound to be great
book talk and exchange of ideas. I hope
you have a fruitful experience at this
year’s NAIBA conference and bring loads
of useful information and enthusiasm
back to your stores when it’s over.
Mark LaFramboise, President

and full-color jacket covers. Have them
available for your customers in your store
and distribute widely in your community.
These catalogs are guaranteed to generate
sales, many from new customers.
PUBLISHER ADVOCATE PROGRAM
Sales are lost if you don’t know early
on what titles are receiving publishers’
support, and it can be overwhelming
reviewing catalogs without a rep’s input.
NAIBA has a solution. Publisher Advocates
are sales reps who have volunteered to
provide marked-up Edelweiss catalogs
to accounts who don’t work with a rep.
Sign up now to be part of a program that
demonstrates our industry’s efforts to
ensure the success of everyone.

Eric landed in Washington, DC in 1988 to go to grad school and started working at Olsson’s Books and Records (Dupont Circle) just before Christmas. “Which, in retrospect, is a good time to start working as a bookseller. I worked on the fl oor, bought small presses and university presses and was a receiving clerk, “recalls Eric. After Olsson’s, he worked for a few small presses before landing a job at National Book Network (NBN) in 2003 where he began his career as a sales rep. His territory included a part of the mid-Atlantic and much of the South. After leaving NBN, Eric worked as a rep for Brodart, selling to libraries for a few years. But he missed bookstores and trade publishing. He considers himself very fortunate to get the Perseus/PGW job in 2009. “I love selling in this territory,” says Eric. And based on this award, booksellers in this territory feel the same about Eric.
Sean is a life-long lover of the written word. At various points in his life, he has worn the hats of a writer, an editor, and most recently, a bookseller. His passion for local business and independent bookstores led him back to the Doylestown Bookshop as a fl oor supervisor and customer service expert. A father of two, Sean believes strongly in the value of a community-focused independently-owned bookstore as a linchpin of his town. When not at the bookshop, Sean can be found performing and teaching improvisational comedy with ComedySportz Philadelphia and the Lights, Camera, Acting studio in Doylestown, PA. He is also the creator and host of “Cracking the Spine,” a weekly podcast focusing on the world of literature.

City in a ParkA History of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park System
James McClelland and Lynn Miller
“In our gridded city of brick and stone, we take solace from the open spaces—the burst of azaleas along the Schuylkill River, the water fountain in Rittenhouse Square, the quiet repose of Laurel Hill, the ghosts of the Centennial Exhibi-tion. Encyclopedic in its reach and thoughtful in its compo-sition, City in a Park unfolds the history of Philadelphia’s expansive, sometimes surprising municipal park against the backdrop of recent and ongoing grand renewals. It reminds us of the treasures we have in our shared back, front, and side yards.” — BETH KEPHART, Flow: The Life and Times of Philadelphia’s
Schuylkill River and Love: A Philadelphia Affair
Filled with nearly 150 gorgeous full-color photographs, City in a Park chronicles the continuing efforts to create a twenty-first century version of what founder William Penn desired: a “greene countrie town.” $39.50 cloth 978-1-4399-1208-9

DONNA FELL
Owner, Sparta Books (Sparta, NJ)
Winner of the fi rst NAIBA Bookstore Challenge
“I fi rst have to say that visiting book stores has always been a hobby
of mine and this felt nothing like a challenge to me!” said Fell
throughout her travels this spring and summer. “I have always found
that booksellers have one common theme, putting a great read in the
hand of their customer.”
NAIBA challenged booksellers this spring to go out and visit other
bookstores, wherever they might be. There were no geographic
boundaries. The challenge encouraged all staffers to participate on
behalf of the store and their collective experience would go towards
points for the contest, but more importantly, strengthening their bond
with other booksellers and learning more about the industry through
each other’s businesses.
Donna Fell was regularly emailing NAIBA photos and comments from
her visits to stores. She took advantage of the time at NAIBA events to
visit with local stores; she traveled to stores in our region; and she went
on a busman’s holiday to Europe. She led the pack with 14 store visits.
“Traveling around regionally and globally has only strengthened my
theory that no matter what the language, who the customer, where
the location, booksellers want their customers to leave their store with
a book they will love,” said Fell. “Each bookstore owner or employee I
met was very willing to share information, knowledge and ideas with
me, knowing I was a fellow bookstore owner with the same interests.
Fell summed it up nicely, “There isn't another industry I would ever
want to work in, seeing how my fellow bookstore owners are not only
my equals but also ‘my friends’.”
