"The response we get from the SIBA Catalog is overwhelming! We have customers coming to the store even after the holidays with copies of the catalog marked with their notes and wishes!"
—John Cavalier, Cavalier House Books, Louisiana
SIBA has joined four other regional associations -- NAIBA, GLIBA, NEIBA, and MIBA -- in the Regional Association Marketing & Promotion (RAMP) catalog consortium to produce the 2020 SIBA Holiday Catalog. The consortium
allows publishers to expand the reach of key 4th-quarter titles to the indie bookstore market in the entire eastern half of the United States.
"I won't go a holiday season without the SIBA catalog."
—Dennise Sleeper, Spellbound Books and Gifts, Florida
