2 Spring 2018 Hi Booksellers, This is our tenth year as an ABA Partner - creating and selling bags, gift wrap, bookmarks, and journals that support your mission. We love doing this. In my 25 years of selling packaging to retailers, I have not seen any retail category thrive, particularly over the past five years, the way independent booksellers have. That big river in South America be damned! We so, so love what you are doing, starkly in the face of the odds, and we want to support you in all that you do for your communities and the printed word. Let s collectively reinforce the ideals - Shop Indie Bookstores, Buy Local - it matters. By golly, it matters! We sincerely thank you for your support and friendship and we wish you all the best. Cheers,

6 Rustic Leather Bookmarks - These bookmarks - made by women in Nepal - are rugged, the printing on them is at times a little less than perfect (read: rustic). We feel that they are attractive and that they will be bestsellers. Your Cost = $1.50/each Suggested Retail = $4.00/each. Nice Margin! By in multiples of 12 per author / design.

7 We believe in local, independently owned businesses. We believe in local economies. We believe that locally owned businesses provide their customers with better service and a more interesting selection of products. We believe that a town with an array of locally owned stores, restaurants, and businesses has more character + charm + vitality than a town that is over-run with chain stores, big box stores, and chain restaurants. We know that when consumers buy from local businesses that more of that money circulates within the local economy. We know that local business owners care more for the health and well being of the community in which they live and work than big box stores or internet sellers do. We truly believe that, in many communities across this country, consumers are increasingly preferring to buy from local businesses. They like the better service, the more personal service, the hand-curated choices. We truly believe that consumers are increasingly thinking outside of the big box and choosing to embrace locally owned businesses. Doing so enriches a community. In more ways than one. Our Buy Local bags, we like to think, encourage and celebrate this trend. Buy local. It matters. Best Wishes,
