L.A. Photo Journey: From Hotel ABA to the Convention Center

Morning rush hour in Los Angeles can be challenging at best, so the American Booksellers Association is encouraging Hotel ABA guests to take the L.A. Metro rail system on Friday morning during BookExpo America. That's when programming moves from the Renaissance Hollywood to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and taking the train to commute will be quicker than a shuttle bus or taxi.

Thanks to Frommer's Travel Guides and John Wiley & Sons, ABA member booksellers can pick up a free Metro Day Pass at the Hotel ABA Welcome Desk while supplies last.

The Hollywood and Highland Red Line Metro stop is just one short block from the hotel, and directions to the convention center will be provided on the Metro Pass sleeve. Knowing that a picture is worth a thousand words, however, Book Soup's Tyson Cornell, a member of the Southern California Independent Booksellers Association (SCIBA) Board and ABA's Booksellers Advisory Council, and Vroman's Guinevere Platt, a part-time SCIBA staff member, have graciously put together step-by-step instructions with photos that will make hopping the train even easier for out-of-town booksellers.
