Exhibit Your Titles!

NMBA will be promoting and selling our members’ books, and offering our popular NMBA Showcase Catalog at two book events this fall. For a modest fee, we will display and sell your titles. 

​The events are: 

• October 7–9, Fall Con ‘21, The Mountains & Plains Independent Booksellers Association (MPIBA), Denver
• October 20–22, New Mexico Library Association annual conference, Albuquerque

What You Need to Provide

Here’s how to exhibit and sell your titles, all of the following must be in our hands by September 24th:

1. Fee: $45 for the first title; $25 per title for additional titles. Payable by check or PayPal.
2. Sell Sheets: Each book must be listed on a sell sheet (although you may put multiple titles on a single sheet.) Each submission must include 50 copies of the sell sheet(s) for that submission, which NMBA staff will bind into the catalog. Sell Sheets must comply with the “Sell Sheet Requirements” below. Here is a sample sell sheet.
3. ​Six Copies of Each Title: One copy will be displayed at the MPIBA Conference, and may be donated at the end of that event. The other five copies will be placed on sale at the NMLA event. 
4. Send the Sell Sheets and Copies of Your Titles to: New Mexico Book Association, Attn: October Book Shows, PO Box 1285, Santa Fe, NM 87504
