Our bookstands were custom-made for MIBA according to bookseller specifications — and they are an ongoing success. Book stands are 5.5″ W x 5.5″ H. The base is 7″ deep. The shelf is 2 3/4 ” deep.

Sarah Bagby, owner of Watermark Books, says, “I was hesitant to buy a case of the book stand easels because of the price, but when they arrived at the store, my staff was SO impressed, they asked how soon we could get more. My staff doesn’t ask me for much, but when they do, I listen. To keep the expense spread over time, I ordered a case a month for an extended period. The store looks better, my staff is happy and the books are on stands that will support them and not dig into the pages.”

Details

  • Order 10 bookstands for $90.

We offer three types of stickers: 1) Signed Copy 2) Local Author and 3) Staff Choice. They are all 2″ wide and 1″ high. “Signed Copy” is gold on white and the other stickers are white on red. The adhesive is effective, but light, allowing stickers to be very easily removed.

  • Order 250 stickers (1 roll) for $10.00. (Price includes tax and shipping.)
