IOBA Standard
In addition to occasionally posting here for FB&C, I recently assumed the editorship of The Standard, the online newsletter of The Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA). I am pleased to announce that the first issue in more than two years has recently been posted, along with a revamped design:

New issues will appear quarterly. Though primarily aimed at booksellers, likely to be much there of interest to other readers of FB&C as well. Hope you'll drop by. And those interested in being notified via email when new issues are published can sign up here. RSS is also available.
