Regional Booksellers Associations
Although the regional associations are not a part of the ABA, we do work quite closely with them and encourage you to join them as well. The regional associations provide a local focus, voice, and promotional and networking opportunities.
 
Here's an overview of the nine regional booksellers associations, their programs and services, and key information.
