Organizer

Texas Booksellers Association

The Texas Booksellers Association is a group of independent booksellers and other book-related businesses focused in Texas.

The primary goal of the Association is to join together and represent local booksellers and supporters of the book community in their efforts to cultivate interest in literature and book collecting. We share the common goals of cultivating appreciation of books and the written word in the community, maintaining the vitality of the independent book trade, and promoting ethical trade practices.

We are always trying to expand our community outreach by providing educational programs through local colleges and promoting events and information about book arts.  We also hope to provide many additional benefits for our members.

We sponsor book shows in Austin, Fort Worth and Houston each year, where member and non-member exhibitors present books and related materials to the public.
