Some of you may get a sense of deja vu...
The colloquium now enters a period of complete admin chaos as one endeavours
to obtain firm information from the hosts
There has been considerable doubt over the wisdom of organising a bookstall
given the doubt that appropriate facilities would be available. Current
thinking is that it will go ahead, subject to conversation later today.
(Whatever happens it is intended that the three titles listed on the
information sheet will be available - OTHER, FOR THE BIRDS and WSUC.)
A further Update will therefore be posted tomorrow morning. It is *assumed
that the publishers among you or "represented" by you (i.e. you can bring
books for other people) will BRING books with you to save postage both ways.
Bear in mind this is not a new outlet but a bookstall at a gathering of many
of your peers, many of whom will have your longest running books. So the
range needs to be limited and numbers conservative. Relate it to what is
happening.
Bring them, please, with an invoice showing quantity and price. If the price
is not on the books, please put it on with a post it. Bookseller's discount
applies.
Please make sure you pick up your books at the end of the day. The time for
doing that will be announced.
Feel free to chat backchannel about what you propose to bring.
