I appreciate it.” • “You do a wonderful job researching suggested titles…sometimes even better than our own people.” • “Working with LSS provides a good Return on Investment. You do very specific, targeted meetings. We really enjoy working with you.” • “I appreciate your tenacity: the emails following up to make sure our books get to the conference. We’ve already carved out part of our 2011 budget to renew the Annual Subscription Plan.” • “I like the fact that we can we send our own order forms directly to the conference—so that attendees have a more personal link with us and experience our press as a distinct entity.” • “Your research and suggestions are really helpful.” FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND TO DOWNLOAD YOUR ASP THE ESSENCE OF SIMPLICITY: How the ASP worksOnce you’ve signed up to exhibit with LSS through our Annual Subscription Plan, here’s how it works: 1) We send you an email twelve weeks before each meeting with a description of the conference and list of suggested titles. 2) You fax or email us the list of titles that you wish to promote at the meeting, including list and discount prices. 3) We provide the conference shipping address—approximately four weeks before each meeting—so that you can send display copies of books, order forms, catalogues and other promotional materials to the meeting site.

WHAT IS A LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE BOOK EXHIBIT?Our exhibits are not simply “displays.” For each conference, we bring together a comprehensive collection of the latest and most significant titles on the meeting’s topics and themes—from the most prominent publishers in the world. Our exhibits become a gather place and essential component of the meeting. WHAT DOES A LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE BOOK EXHIBIT LOOK LIKE?With ten to thirty tables at each of our conferences (all titles are displayed face out), our exhibits are a sight to behold. Conference attendees are not only impressed, but often stunned by the quality and scope of our exhibit. The photos below convey the excitement that an LSS book exhibit brings to a meeting.
