NEIBA Fall Conference Newsletter 2016 NEIBA’s 43rd Fall Conference and Trade Show! Once again it is time to spend three days together in Providence Rhode Island, learning new things, discovering new books, meeting new authors, making new friends and seeing old ones. As we have come to expect the NEIBA Fall Conference is strong on education: Tuesday’s offerings include a panel of reps and publishers discussing ways in which we can sell more in the growth category of non-fiction. We have a workshop focusing on maintaining and training for customer service; a panel of our reps sharing the best of what they see in our stores, and a session devoted to working with self-published authors. NECBA will begin its session with their Annual Meeting, followed by their picks for the holidays. ABA will be with us to present the results of 2015 ABACUS survey. Thursday’s education will bring us NECBA’s intriguingly titled “Growing a Children’s Bookseller”, and we have a thorough presentation of the new Edelweiss +. Thursday is also our Annual Meeting. We’re also trying something new this year with an Open Forum for everyone – reps, booksellers of all levels, and publishers to gather in one place to talk about whatever anyone what to discuss. President’s Award is Elizabeth Strout. We’ll shout and cheer for Anne DeCourcey, who is receiving the Saul Gilman Award, and the Norwich Book Store, the 2016 winner of the Independent Spirit Award. We will take a few moments to honor retiring Macmillan Rep, Bob Werner. And all this will be hosted by best-selling author and humorist, David Pogue. It’s my belief that regional shows and conferences are more important than they’ve been in years. Winter Institute is not always possible for many of you. BEA is challenged by having to be many things to many constituents, and fewer of you are attending. But NEIBA is your show, in your region, where you’ll see your reps and your favorite authors, and, of course, each other. We look forward to seeing all of you very soon! Steve Fischer From the NEIBA President Dear Fellow New England Booksellers – As usual we’ll have acres of new books to discover. Exhibit Day begins when the Ballroom doors open promptly at 10am on Wednesday morning and will stay open, with no competing activities, until 4:30. We have sold out the exhibit hall so there will be no shortage of new books, stationery, calendars, journals and merchandise to explore. Remember to take advantage of the show offers many of our exhibitors are offering! I hope you are all enjoying these final days of summer. Ideally you have seen robust sales in your stores AND made a big dent in the piles of books beside your beds, on your desks and against your walls. You will need that extra space in just a few weeks because our 43rd NEIBA Fall Conference is taking place a little earlier than usual this year. We will be gathering in Providence, RI on September 20-22. This year we will play host to over 50 authors. We are thrilled to open the conference on Tuesday with our keynote speaker, Zadie Smith, talking about her new novel, Swing Time with Grub Street’s Chris Castellani. That evening’s Author Reception brings 23 authors, each signing their new works, and eager to meet us all. Wednesday’s Children’s Author Breakfast features Andrea Beaty, Grace Lin and Raina Telgemeirer. For Thursday’s Author Breakfast we welcome Min Jin Lee, Francine Prose, Mark Slouka and Sabaa Tahir. Thursday’s Luncheon speaker is best-selling author, founder of Authors United, and New Englander, Douglas Preston. Steve and Nan have been hard at work putting together what is shaping up to be an extraordinary show. As our Keynote Speaker, Zadie Smith will kick off three days packed with stimulating educational panels, inspiring author presentations and informative publisher showcases. The NEIBA Board and Advisory Council, along with NECBA, have created a program with offerings for everyone in your store. Please consider bringing some frontline booksellers to take advantage of this opportunity to experience the vibrancy of our New England indie community. Our regional show is one of the largest in the nation and always brims with bookseller energy and enthusiasm. The New England Book Awards banquet will be held on Wednesday evening in the glamorous Grand Ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel. Recipients this year are Noah Hawley for Before the Fall; Sy Montgomery for Soul of an Octopus, and Lauren Wolk for Wolf Hallow. The recipient of the See you in Providence, Gillian Kohli NEIBA Board President Wellesley Books, Wellesley MA 2016 NEIBA Fall Conference Schedule of Events TUESDAY September 20, 2016 KEYNOTE, PUBLISHER PICK-NIC, EDUCATION AND AUTHOR RECEPTION Conference Educational Sessions are sponsored by Ingram Content Group and Penguin Random House 10:00 am - 5:30 pm 2:30 pm – 3:45 pm Registration Open Selling More Nonfiction 10:00 am - 10:00 pm Exhibitor Move In 11:00 am -Noon KEYNOTE Best-selling author, Zadie Smith, with her new novel Swing Time, in conversation with Grub Street Artistic Director, Christopher Castellani 12:15 – 2:15 PUBLISHER’S PICK-NIC LUNCH The Rotunda Advanced ticket required Please join booksellers, wholesalers and reps for a two-hour sales and marketing boxed lunch.

NECBA members will highlight titles from board books to Young Adult books. The Windows & Mirrors team will unveil and present six books representing the best in children’s books and diversity that the committee is very excited to showcase. The committee will also distribute the long list of titles recommended by NECBA and BPRNE. This session is particularly recommended for general NEIBA bookstore and booksellers who would like to learn about hot children’s titles to know and stock this holiday season including NEIBA Holiday Catalog titles. Handouts provided. The session will begin with the NECBA Annual Meeting. Moderated by NECBA Chairs, Sara Hines, Eight Cousins, Falmouth MA and Robin Sung, Porter Square Books. Cambridge, MA Within the independent bookselling community the category of non-fiction sometimes generates less buzz than debut literary fiction, but a look at our bestsellers and widely reviewed books indicates that sales of general non-fiction represent a large portion of our business, and growing. This session will focus on buying, selling and marketing of general non-fiction including history, biography, cooking, mind/body/spirit and university press titles. We’ll look at trends, market share, servicing your local market and how to represent a stronger selection of non-fiction in your store. Panelists are: David LePere (Princeton, Yale and MIT Press rep); Steven Pace (Workman Publishing); Dale Szczeblowski (Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA); Debra Woodward (Red Wheel Weiser). Moderated by Vicky Titcomb (Titcomb’s Bookshop, East Sandwich, MA). 2:30 pm – 3:45 pm Customer Service Customer service is the backbone of every retail endeavor. It is our first impression when we walk into a store, or restaurant, and if the service is great, what we talk about when we talk about our experience. Customer service can never been emphasized enough and, along with a great selection of books, should be the hallmark of every independent bookstore in New England. This session will be led by our fellow evangelists for superior customer service and will include ideas for staff training and maintaining high standards. With Nancy Scheemaker (Northshire Bookstore, Saratoga, NY); Matt Shaw (Oblong Books, Rhinebeck, NY); Liza Bernard (Norwich Bookstore, Norwich, VT) and Annie Philbrick (Bank Square Books. Mystic, CT and Savoy Books. Westerley, RI) 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm ABA Presents: Understanding and Acting on Your ABACUS-15 Report The ABACUS Survey is unique: There is no comparable data source or analytic tool for independent bookstores. This session will review ABACUS-15’s top-line data to demonstrate how booksellers can use their own numbers to improve their business’ performance. Understanding the framework of the independent bookstore market is important for all—from frontline booksellers to owners and managers. Presented by ABA CEO, Oren Teicher. Page 3 2016 NEIBA Fall Conference 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm What Reps See! Our publisher sales representatives are in more bookstores in three months than many of will get to visit in a year. They know the buyers and the event coordinators, the frontline booksellers and the receivers. They watch customer interaction, store operations, and get to see the multitude of ways our shops merchandise, select, and sell books and gift items. This panel of sales reps will give us a tour of the best practices they see all over New England so that you can bring back to your own store many new ideas. Suzette Ciancio, (W.W. Norton); John Muse (Simon & Schuster); Nikki Mutch (Scholastic); Stacie Williams (Ingram). Moderated by Maureen Karb, (Como Sales). 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm Working with Self Published Authors Yes, you can learn to love your local, self-published authors! This panel will give you the tools to work more closely and productively with the self-published authors who want you to carry their books. We’ll look at different consignment programs, ways to merchandise and promote their books, how to educate authors on what their roles are in marketing their books. Proper management of expectations can result in a happy collaboration between authors and your store. In addition, we’ll have someone from Ingram Spark who will introduce us to their program for self-published books. Liz Bartek (R.J. Julia Booksellers, Madison, CT); Josh Floyd (Ingram). Moderated by Sandy Scott (Galaxy Bookshop, Harwick, VT). 6:00 – 7:30 pm AUTHOR COCKTAIL RECEPTION The Rotunda One of the highlights of the Fall Conference, the Author Cocktail Reception winds down the day in a relaxing atmosphere where you’ll have time to visit with your bookselling and publishing colleagues and introduce yourselves to 23 authors.

This year we have set aside an hour for anyone and everyone who wants to have time to do just that. A few tables will be set aside for specific topics, while others will be for talking about books and gift items you’re exited about this fall; new ideas you picked up over the past two days of education; conversation about procedures at other stores, and an opportunity for booksellers and publishers to talk.

Tom Sullivan, I Used To Be A Fish, Balzar & Bray/HarperCollins Table B2: 1-7 From debut author-illustrator Tom Sullivan comes I Used To Be A Fish—a simple, yet groundbreaking picture book that both introduces the concept of evolution and celebrates the power of imagination. 11:30 Michael J.

Caduto draws on first-hand experiences and reflections on the relationship between the natural world and humans, he explores some of the plants, animals, natural places, and environmental issues of New England—from dragonflies, cuckoos, and chipmunks to circumpolar constellations and climate change. Stunning illustrations by Adelaide Murphy Tyrol illuminate these elegant and humorous essays. Sydney Williams, Notes From Old Lyme, Bauhan Publishing Table D1: 4-5 After forty-seven years on Wall Street, Williams writes from home about what truly matters. Sydney Williams has compiled a medley of essays that reflect on the precious moments of life spent in contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday grind. They include time spent in nature, with friends and family, or reflecting on our nation’s current affairs. Within his essays there is an inspiring appreciation of the art of savoring life rather than careening through it, unaware of our surroundings and ourselves. Page 9 2016 NEIBA Fall Conference 12:00 Brenda Lyons, America’s Favorite Birds: 40 Beautiful Birds of Color, Cornell Lab Table F2: 5 Coloring enthusiasts and bird lovers unite with America’s Favorite Birds — a beautiful and intricately designed coloring book of North America’s favorite birds from the leading authority in birding—the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The species chosen for the America’s Favorite Birds were selected from 250,000 votes from birders across North America. Sister title to Birds of Paradise: A Coloring Expedition, both released in September 2016. “For the 50 million birders in the U.S., these are going to be the definitive coloring books.” -- Publisher’s Weekly. Howard Mansfield, Sheds, Bauhan Publishing Table D1: 4-5 Drawing on material from his recent book Dwelling in Possibility, Howard Mansfield explores the different types of sheds found around New England and beyond: covered bridges, barns, worksheds, “worship sheds” (meeting houses), extended farmhouses, bob houses for ice fishing. In lyrical style and supported by photographs by Joanna Eldredge Morrissey, Mansfield shows the connection between the design of these structures and their roles in our lives. Peter Swanson, Her Every Fear, HarperCollins - William Morrow Table B2: 1-7 The author of the wildly popular The Kind Worth Killing returns with an electrifying and downright Hitchcockian psychological thriller involving a young woman caught in a vise of voyeurism, betrayal, manipulation, and murder. 12:30 Sarah Darer Littman, In Case You Missed It, Scholastic Table D4: 1-5 Critically acclaimed author of Backlash, Want To Go Private?, Purge, and others, Sarah Darer Littman jumps into the world of hacking and internet privacy.

All her secrets are out, and her friends might not have her back this time. Sandra Magsamen, I Love Hugs and Kisses.

Upon retirement, and seventy years after his uncle’s death, he set out to discover what might still be found about Phil’s life and, astoundingly, of his death—gaining insights into war, antisemitism, family silences, and heroism. Jane Yolen / Ellen Shi, Little Frog & the Scary Autumn Thing, Persnickety Press Table F2: 6 A heart-warming story about change and discovery for Little Frog as she experiences her first autumn...not the green world she knows and loves so much, but something scarier and ominous, filled with red and gold and yellow. “Rich colors underscore the intensity of Little Frog’s feelings, as the sunlit greens of reeds and lily pads give way to showers of leaves that, in the shadowed woods, glow with autumn reds and golds.” -- Kirkus Reviews. “Hints at ways readers might tackle their own fears.” -- Publisher’s Weekly. 2:00 Deb Lucke, Lunch Witch 2: Knee Deep in Niceness, Papercutz Table D1: 1 Grunhilda is back in all-new adventure. The Lunch Witch has her hands full when one of her familiars accidentally casts a spell that turns everyone nice. Needless to say the ancestors are not pleased.

Jane Yolen / Bob Marstall, On Bird Hill, Cornell Lab Publishing Group Table F2: 5 First in a new series created for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology by bestselling children’s author, Jane Yolen, and award winning illustrator, Bob Marstall. Rave reviews: “A sweetly surreal meditation on the everyday wonders that await in the wild.” -- Publisher’s Weekly; “An imaginative and original depiction of one of life’s everyday miracles.” -- Kirkus Reviews Starred Review. “Expressively captures a luminous moment of discovery in the natural world.” -- School Library Journal. 3:00 Jon Buller, Anne of Green Bagels, Papercutz Table D1: 1 On her first day at her new school, Anne is saddled with the nickname Anne of Green Bagels, thanks to the health-food sandwich her grandmother has made her for lunch. Can things get any worse? Then she meets Otto, who shares her interest in music and in her favorite TV show, The Blimptons. When Anne sees the drawings in a childhood notebook of her father’s, she wonders -- could it be the was the real inventor of the Blimptons? And can she somehow get him to come home and claim the credit he deserves? Corinne Demas & Artemis Roehrig, Does Fiddler Crab Fiddle?, Persnickety Press Table F2: 56 First in a series of non-fiction children’s picture book that combines science with humor in all the right ways to learn about creatures. Starting with silly questions like the title, and moving on through increasingly-unlikely questions such as “do fiddler crabs ride a skateboard?” (they don’t need a skateboard – they can move sideways so shore birds can’t catch them). Children will discover amazing things about Fiddler Crabs, while laughing out loud as they do. “The humor is irresistible.” -- Kirkus Reviews Page 11 2016 NEIBA Fall Conference SPECIAL OFFERS NEIBA will conduct a raffle for prizes to eight bookstores that place orders at the show.
