Sharon, you are right. You don’t see any delineation of the “Halls” when you are at the convo center.  And the P&P space is so large it’s easy to find (and hard to miss).

 

I haven’t seen this year’s layout yet. I will see if I can get it (if it has indeed been issued).

Hey, All, 

 

Book sales have always been in proximity to the state tables ... on the far side of the NEH and other booths ...  and I wonder if we, too, are in "Hall B," (or Hall A? there's no separation between the lower level halls during NBF)

 

Here is a map of the the convention center for reference/visualization:

You can click into the lower level but just looking at it I think Roadmap to Reading likely spans A and B areas?

Thanks for the map, Joe. 

 

Page, the book area will be in the convention hall on the same floor we will all be. For a little more context, here is what I heard from Brad:

 

Thanks for thinking of us. We’re not exactly in a numbered booth at the festival. We operate in what’s called simply the book sales area. It’s a large, walled-in space located in Hall B of the Convention Center. Hope this helps.

 

Kind regards, Brad

 

Therefore, this the the wording I'm playing around with for our author signing poster:  Books available at the Politics and Prose book sales area located in Hall B of the Convention Center.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Warmly,

 

Rebekah

Jim,

 

For those who are new, what does the sales area mean? Could Brad provide a map that shows where to find it.

 

thanks,

Page

I’m sharing a reply I received from Brad Graham to an email I had sent prior to today’s meeting regarding author signings of stock at the NBF bookstore; I found his email waiting after our meeting:

 

As for when the authors could drop by the sales area to sign, between 11 am and 2 pm on the Friday before the festival, or Saturday between 8:30 am and 10:30 am. Just instruct the authors to come to the sales area and ask for a P&P manager.
