I was at the booths in Boston yesterday at the URJ biennial conference as residents of the area could come to see the 150+ booths on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. I am in the Boston area for the year.
I brought up the subject to CCAR, Behrman House, and JPS as they were the major publishers open when I was there. PJ Library had unfortunately closed up. There was interest and we will see if there is any follow up. One took my email. Two of the three reps that I talked too did not know about the AJL and Hasafran. The other (JPS I believe) did.
