Advertising in the SPD catalog is an excellent and inexpensive way to reach 11,000 booksellers, librarians, and individuals.

Since readers of the SPD catalog are specifically in the market to purchase books, our ads tend to be read with intense interest. These ads are also a great way to make readers and buyers aware of available titles from your back list.
