Dates, location announced for 2011 Spring Book Show in Atlanta

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- ATLANTA, Ga. (February 3, 2011) – Larry May of L.B. May & Associates, Knoxville, Tenn., today announced that the 2011 Spring Book Show, sister show of the Great American Bargain Book Show, will be held Friday-Sunday, March 25-27, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta.
   The Spring Book Show, the largest bargain book show in the South, features more than 50,000 book titles being sold by vendors to buyers from around the world. It is closed to the general public.
2011 marks the third year that the show is being held at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
   Educational seminars being held in conjunction with the show will be held in the Galleria’s salon area.
“The Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel, the official hotel for the 2011 Spring Book Show, connects to the convention center, a real plus, and conferees at the 2010 Spring Book Show liked the availability of free parking and the great shopping and restaurants in the area,” May said.
   He added that about three-quarters of available space for the 2011 show has already been sold. Low-priced bargain book stock, he noted, is becoming increasingly popular with booksellers because of the depressed national economy. Remainders in most cases generate a higher retail mark-up than newly released books.

It is staged annually in the spring to permit retailers to buy inexpensive stock for marketing during the summer “beach read” season. The show is organized by L.B.
