Books for Business, which AALL has engaged to be the at the AALL book
store in D.C. and provide all book selling services in the Exhibit Hall
at our 2009 Meeting, has agreed to give its full support to our book
drive! Jane Cooper, Books for Business founder, has agreed to stock
books from the Book Drive amazon.com wish list at the Books for Business
booth in the exhibit hall during the meeting. She will be pricing the
books the same as Amazon.com and there is no additional shipping cost.
Books for Business is a retail/wholesale/consulting business with
offices in Toronto Canada and Niagara Falls N.Y. Books for Business
founder, Jane Cooper, started the business 20 years ago after a long
career as a librarian. Jane was recently named the Canadian Bookseller
of the Year! Jane writes: "We are looking forward to being at AALL
this year and hope that our selection of books supporting the conference
program and supporting the work of law librarians will appeal."

So, stop by the Books For Business booth, meet Jane and buy a book for
the 2009 Book Drive! And, remember, purchasing books in the exhibit
hall directly from "Books for Business" supports an independent,
librarian-owned bookstore and also avoids shipping costs! A true
win-win for all.
