2008 Book Show

More than 200 members of the Bookbuilders West community braved the weather January 31 to attend the 37th annual awards luncheon and conference in Oakland. They were rewarded with a panel discussion on the devastating effects of our natural resource consumption, zeroing in on the effects of using paper derived from endangered forests rather than recycled sources. After the discussion, attendees reviewed the more than 200 books submitted for awards in eight different categories and socialized with friends and colleagues before the awards’ presentation luncheon.
New to the Book Show this year was a charitable partnership—Room to Read—to which Bookbuilders West donated $3000 from the proceeds of the book show. Room to Read will use these funds to help in the building of a children’s library in an underprivileged community.
“My favorite part of the program was the Room to Read presentation,” said Carey Eisner, a project manager at McGraw Hill Higher Education in San Francisco. “I thought it was wonderful. I am happy to hear that a portion of the attendance fees will be donated toward the construction of a much needed Room to Read library. The Frontline video on the program was fabulous.”
