Information Page

  Description and Cost (click for Form B)
MESA’s Cooperative Book Display offers the individual or small publisher the opportunity to display journals, bulletins, books, videos or software without having to rent a booth space. The cost is $40 per title. A display copy along with  payment should be sent to the MESA Secretariat.  MESA will sell the display copies  in the last hours of the conference, retaining the proceeds to help offset the cost of staffing the CBD.

How Attendees Place Orders
MESA prepares a Cooperative Book Display Catalogue which lists all titles on display. Included in the catalogue is a form for ordering directly from the publisher or distributor.
 

How to Participate in the CBD
Complete the  Cooperative Book Display Form (Form B) and return along with payment to the MESA Secretariat. The deadline is November 1, 2005.

Send one or two copies of each title to the MESA Secretariat by November 5, 2005 or have them delivered in person to the CBD. Do NOT ship books to the hotel, as MESA cannot incur the cost of receiving such shipments.

Selling Books & Other Items On-site
MESA also provides a means for selling items on-site through the Cooperative Book Display, offering a means for those wanting to sell items but cannot staff a booth.
 
The stipulations are:

  1. Complete the CBD form and pay the $40 display fee.
  2. Bring copies of the book or item to the CBD during setup hours (Friday, November 18, 2005 from 2:00pm-6:00pm, located just outside Exhibit Hall C in the Atrium).  We will not accept advance shipments, or shipments on-site.  They must be brought to the exhibit. 
  3. Complete the Selling On-site Form, stipulating the selling cost.  MESA will sell copies for a 75-25 split.
  4. Retrieve the remaining copies from the CBD by Tuesday, November 22, 2005, by Noon. MESA will not ship return shipments to authors and publishers.

Advertising Options (Click for Form C  or Form D)
The 2005 Annual Meeting Program and MESA Newsletter are two of the publications available for advertising. We also rent MESA's mailing list for a one-time use, pending approval.
