This article relates to The Poet's Funeral
The ABA Convention is now
known as BEA (Book Expo America). It's the
largest book show in the USA, with about
35,000 people attending each
year. Most are connected with
the book industry in some shape
or form, but it also attracts
many savvy members of the public as
well.
The key attraction for many are
the approximate
1,000 authors (many of whom are
household names) who autograph their books
at each BEA, often
giving away free copies in the process.
In 2005, industry sources
estimated that about 50% of all
books signed at BEA were for
sale on Ebay within the week - some within only a
few minutes of being signed!
BEA will return to Las Vegas in
2010, for the first time in 20
years.
This "beyond the book article" relates to The Poet's Funeral. It originally ran in July 2005 and has been updated for the
October 2006 paperback edition.
