Press Release Summary: L.B. May and Associates has announced that the 2009 Spring
Book Show will be held March 6-8 at the Cobb Galleria Centre in north Atlanta.

Press Release Body: Atlanta, Ga. September 11 2008 -- Larry May of L.B. May &
Associates, Knoxville, Tenn., today announced that the 2009 Spring Book Show will be
held Friday-Sunday, March 6-8, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta.

In the past, the show for sellers and buyers of bargain books was held at the
Georgia World Congress Center. However, on the evening of March 14, 2008, a tornado
swept through downtown Atlanta. It did severe damage to a number of structures,
including an estimated $100 million in damage to the Georgia World Congress Center.

As a result, the 2008 Spring Book Show moved to the downtown Hilton Atlanta Hotel.
Because the Hilton was not available for the Great American Bargain Book Show, also
owned by L.B. May and Associates and held August 1-2, 2008, moved to the Cobb
Galleria Centre. The Galleria proved so popular with vendors and buyers that it was
selected as the location for the 2009 Spring Book Show.

The Spring Book Show, the largest bargain book show in the nation, features more
than 50,000 book titles being sold by vendors to buyers from around the world. It is
closed to the general public.
Educational seminars being held in conjunction with the show will be held in the
Galleria’s salon area.

“We’re thankful that the Galleria has found accommodations for both the spring and
fall shows,” May said. “The Marriott Renaissance, the official hotel for the 2009
Spring Book Show, connects to the convention center, another plus, and conferees at
the 2008 Great American Bargain Book Show liked the availability of free parking and
the great shopping and restaurants in the area.”

May said that about three-quarters of available space for the 2009 show has already
been sold. Low-priced bargain book stock, he noted, is becoming increasingly popular
with booksellers because of the depressed national economy.

About the Spring Book Show: The Spring Book Show is the largest of three bargain
book shows held in the United States. It is staged annually in the spring to permit
retailers to buy inexpensive stock for marketing during the summer season. The show
is organized by L.B. May & Associates of Knoxville, Tenn. Further information at
