"Books that have become classics—books that have had their day and now get more praise than perusal—always remind me of retired colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay."
T.B. (Thomas Bailey) Aldrich, U.S. writer, editor. “Leaves from a Notebook,” Ponkapog Papers (1903)
The Examined Life: Writing and the Art of Medicine
April 28 to 30, 2010
Book Fair
There are two possible arrangements for having your books for sale onsite. You or your publisher may contact our bookseller, Wild Rose Books, buyer Douglas Ward douglas-ward@uiowa.edu or 319) 384 5150. Wild Rose will be selling onsite during the conference.
Alternatively, you or your publisher may ship books to us directly. It will be best if you notify us that you will be shipping books to us. If you ship books to us, you or your publisher will be responsible for reserving a table and staffing it at the designated bookfair times.
If you wish to reserve a place at the book fair you must reserve one when you register for the conference. You will also be asked for a limited amount of text that will serve as your listing in our program materials. The tables (which are six feet long) will be available for you to showcase your materials throughout the duration of the conference.
Books may be shipped to:
David Etler
The Examined Life
Carver College of Medicine
1216 MERF
Iowa City, IA 52242-2600
Note that we will endeavor to ensure the security of your shipment once it arrives until the conference begins; however, we will not be responsible for the condition of, theft of, damage to, or loss of your shipped materials. Participants will be responsible for handling the sale of any materials and securing valuable items after hours. We will have a room available in which participants may store their materials.
