	American Booksellers Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Booksellers Association (ABA) is a non-profit industry association founded in 1900 that promotes independent bookstores.
		Many independent booksellers are concerned about the potential negative impact on free speech by giant megachains, such as Barnes and Noble, or even nationwide web retailers, such as Amazon.com.
		The ABA sponsors the BookSense marketing program and associated booksense.com web site, which is intended to preserve a connection between consumers and local independent bookstores.

	American Booksellers Association Action in against Barnes & Noble and Borders for Alleged Price Discrimination ...
		The ABA action was brought by the various independent bookstores represented by the ABA's 26-person board of governors, and was brought in California to try to obtain in federal court a class action on behalf of all California bookseller members of the ABA, under a California state statute permitting such class actions.
		Judge William H. Orrick held that the ABA had failed to establish that any of the named plaintiffs therein was entitled to any damages, but allowed the case to go to trial on the issue of whether the ABA plaintiffs were entitled to injunctive relief.
		The ABA Action was brought in 1998, and Borders is smaller than B&N. With these factors in mind, Intimate's attorney estimated that B&N and Borders combined spent about $75,000,000 in defending themselves in the ABA Action, and reported this estimate to Judge Pauley in the New York Action.

	Newport News-Times: Booksellers, librarians keep focus on PATRIOT Act during Banned Books Week
		Local booksellers and librarians have joined their peers across the nation to back those efforts to repeal or amend the Act.
		In March, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association board of directors approved a resolution and petition asking elected and appointed federal representatives to accept their responsibility "to protect and preserve the freedoms that are the foundation of our democracy" by reviewing and repealing those sections that "threaten or abridge the rights of inquiry and free speech."
		Now a bookseller or librarian must comply with an order immediately or be subject to arrest, and under a gag provision in the law, cannot reveal to anyone that records were searched.

	Chapter ends for booksellers / Settlement closes antitrust suit against giant chain stores
		The American Booksellers Association gave up the fight during the second week of a San Francisco federal court trial in which it had argued that Barnes & Noble Inc. and Borders Group Inc. use their weight to force publishers to offer discounts and benefits unavailable to mom-and-pop shops.
		Although the 3,000-member Booksellers Association hailed the settlement as a victory that highlighted "practices within the industry that favored the chains," local independents took a different view.
		That's because the Booksellers Association was unable to convince U.S. District Judge William H. Orrick that its members' fiscal losses were the result of the chain-store discounts.

	FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
		Specifically, they argued, compliance requires a bookseller to: (1) create an "adults only" section of the store; (2) place the covered works behind the counter (which would require a bookbuyer to request specially a work); (3) decline to carry the materials in question; or (4) bar juveniles from the store.
		At the preliminary injunction hearing, which became a trial on the merits, plaintiffs called three witnesses: two booksellers (the owners of the two plaintiff bookstores) and the general counsel of plaintiff American Booksellers Association.
		The two booksellers testified that their stores were typical in most respects of non-"adults only" general-subject bookstores in the State.
