New England's Premiere Bookselling Event!

Copley Square, Boston Oct. 14

Regstration open Aug. 14-Oct. 1 for this members-only coop marketing exhibit

Everyone at IPNE is excited to represent your books at the Boston Book Festival (BBF)! What's even more terrific is that IPNE can represent small publishers and author-publishers that are not able to purchase their own table.

Because the BBF is so well attended by a concentrated crowd of book lovers, it creates a special opportunity for independent publishers to interact with the public and attract new readers. And remember: space is limited, and this show will fill up fast.

It takes place in Copley Square, Boston every October, with tent booths ringing the square and author and publisher events in the Boston Public Library and surrounding buildings.
