IBF WILL BE CELEBRATING ITS 50th
ANNIVERSARY IN 2006
This is a considerable landmark in the history of
the Federation, and early in 2005 IBF Council &
Secretariat started
thinking of the best ways of celebrating the event!
Here below is a description of the events which will take place in
2006.
IBF MEMBERS TO SELECT 50 UNIQUE BOOKSHOPS BY 31.03.2006
IBF is inviting its full members to select pictures of 50 UNIQUE
BOOKSHOPS. The idea is TO PRODUCE A 2-YEAR CALENDAR (2007-2008) to be
launched at a special, and very high-level event at the Frankfurt Book
Fair in 2006.
If time and resources allow, a book, with text about the bookshops
along with quotations from famous writers might follow, all depending
on the sponsorship IBF manages to raise.
Not only will the initiative be very rewarding for booksellers, but it
will also provide a fantastic marketing tool for promoting the image
of booksellers worldwide.
