ABEBOOKS SIGNS CO-SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH MINNESOTA AGREEMENT
WITH MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO'S THE WRITER'S ALMANAC®
29th November, 2001
(Victoria, BC) - AbeBooks, the world’s leading source for
out-of-print and hard-to-find books, has signed a two-year co-sponsorship
agreement with Minnesota Public Radio’s The Writer’s
Almanac®.
The literary show, hosted by renowned personality Garrison Keillor,
has entertained one million listeners with a daily dose of poetry
and history, since 1994.
“We’re very pleased to have negotiated this kind of
exposure,” said abebooks CEO Brent James. “The recognized
voice of Garrison Keillor is a fantastic advocate for our company,
making The Writer’s Almanac® a very good fit for us.”
While abebooks’ online inventory features over 30 million
books, James says the company is taking strides to promote rare
titles, first editions and signed classics. “The Writer’s
Almanac® listeners are the perfect audience for our service,”
says James.
The abebooks co-sponsorship can be heard three-to-four times
a week on 300+ stations throughout the United States. Listeners
enjoy The Writers Almanac® in such markets as New York, San
Francisco, Houston, Detroit, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta,
San Diego, Indianapolis and Seattle.
