GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO EXHIBIT YOUR BOOKS TO NM LIBRARIANS
NMLA Conference in Ruidoso, April 7-9

a check payable to NMBA: $12 for your first title; $7 for each additional title;
deliver or mail your books and your sell sheets to the NMBA office, 826 Camino del Monte Rey-A3, in Santa Fe;
we will also post our catalog on our website. If you want a digital image of your sell sheet included in our virtual catalog, please email a pdf file to: admin@nmbook.org.
