A Larger Explanation:

For over 75 years, Combined Book Exhibit has served as a book marketing and promotional service for members of the publishing industry, serving publishers of all sizes, self published authors, and those in publishing related industries connect with librarians, educators, booksellers, literary agents, editors, publishers and many other members of the publishing community by allowing you to market your titles at trade shows around the world!

Why Trade Shows?

Because despite email, Internet, printed catalogs and mailings, there’s no substitute for putting the book in the hand of the consumer. With effective book promotion from Combined Book Exhibit, your titles will be front and center at the very events that these people attend specifically to find new books! Whether it’s the largest book fair in the world, or any one of the many state library shows we attend (click here to see our current show schedule and learn more about each show), trade shows are one of the most valuable ventures in your book marketing efforts
And they have the furthest reach! Combined Book Exhibit attends trade shows all across the US and around the world, making for a truly worldwide experience.

How It Works:

Almost like a “living catalog”, The Combined Book Exhibit is a collective of books from publishers of all sizes, including almost any genre, and made available for show attendees to explore (see our FAQs for information on how exhibits are organized). Information on each title, and each participating author is collected in an exhibit catalog, unique to each different exhibit, and is given out to all interested attendees, who can contact you directly (CBE takes no cut of book sales!). When available, leads will be collected on your behalf and forwarded to you. Also when available, General leads of visitors to the booth are collected to help you build a list of valuable contacts.
In addition to all of that, we offer Internet-based marketing free with every entry! All of the information we collect for the exhibit catalog is included on our online, searchable database at www.combinedbook.com!
