Greetings!
We're really excited about this year's show.  As you may know, we partnered with Reed Exhibitions and the BookExpo America team to provide Books@BEA, the official on-line catalog of this year's show.  Check out all of the featured titles and browse them by exhibitor, genre, format, pubdate, or event.  If you're registered, you can also tag and add notes.

Books@BEA

In this special BookExpo edition of our normal weekly email, check out our schedule below of things we have going on.  Also, we've recently implemented the first NetGalley digital galleys in Edelweiss for Moody and we'll be demonstrating this functionality at the show.  See the item below for more info on this.

Finally, there actually weren't any new catalogs last week to report (not sure if that's happened before), but the usual drop-ins list is included.

Please do drop by and say 'hi' at booth #4417.  We'd love to see you and show you some of the latest features in Edelweiss.

Cheers,

Mark

p.s. No email next week due to BookExpo.  We'll return the following week.

Edelweiss at BookExpo - Summary of Events
Edelweiss Evolution

Using NetGalley with Edelweiss
We'll be conducting a demonstration of the new functionality that allows Edelweiss publishers to share and distribute NetGalley digital galleys via their Edelweiss catalogs.

Ongoing Demonstrations and Discussions
There will be several of us in the Above the Treeline booth (#4417) during the exhibition hours (Wednesday 9 am - 6 pm, Thursday 9 am - 5 pm) conducting demos and discussing Edelweiss and Above the Treeline with interested retailers and publishers.

Edelweiss Lanyards - Come by and get your Edelweiss lanyard while they last!

Finally, if for nothing else, be sure to come by and get your Edelweiss lanyard.  They have the Edelweiss logo on a white background and they're printed on both sides.

The lanyard is a great way to show your support for Edelweiss (and it comes in handy.)  We'll also see what we can do to make these available for those of you attending events and conferences on Tuesday.
