#BHCCharlotte Book Auction

#BHCCharlotte Book Auction

If you have a recently published book or you are the editor of a journal in a field related to business history, please contact your publisher and urge them to participate in our free Book and Journals Exhibit. Direct them to the information available on the BHC Meeting webpage, specifically to the page of information for publishers at https://thebhc.org/book-exhibit-information-publishers.

A large number of publishers participate in the BHC exhibit each year, but smaller presses often do not plan to display their wares unless they are contacted by an author. Also, though publishers tend to display only new titles, they are usually willing to include any item still in print, especially for authors who will be in attendance at the meeting. We do an e-mailing to exhibit managers of publishers with large business history lists, but the display of a particular title may require direct intervention by authors. Particularly if your book is a recent paperback, which now are often print-on-demand, we urge you to contact your publisher directly.

Individual authors or journal editors whose publishers are unable to participate in the BHC exhibit are welcome to provide display copies of their work, accompanied by a flyer if desired.

It's not necessary to submit a registration form, but we do request that you email Carol Lockman (Business History Conference Manager, Hagley Center) at clockman@hagley.org about your plans so we can anticipate space requirements. It is expected that volumes individually included in the Book and Journal Exhibit will be donated to the organization for the auction. We regret that we cannot be responsible for the return of any books or other materials included in the display.

Flyers announcing forthcoming books are also welcome!

Thanks! C.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
