Ahmad Meradji, president of digital book printer Apex Book Manufacturing, will be among 18 seminar presenters at the March 28-30 Spring Book Show at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga.

/Books News Articles/ - ATLANTA, GA, February 06, 2008 - When Spring Book Show 2008, the South's largest bargain book show, comes to Atlanta's World Congress Center on March 28-30, hundreds of vendors will be offering some 50,000 titles at bargain-basement prices to buyers who come from around the world.

Among 18 speakers who will make presentations at seminars held in conjunction with the show will be Ahmad Meradji, the CEO of Apex Book Manufacturing, a leading firm in the manufacture of short-run books (from one to 1,000 copies). Apex, located in Marietta, Ga., manufactures books using a digital process often referred to as "print on demand" or POD. Using toner rather than ink, Apex can create books ranging from traditional black on white paperbacks with four-color covers to hardcover four-color run of press coffee table books.

Meradji, a veteran of the digital print revolution who worked for Xerox before founding Apex, will speak on March 28 at one of the Anvil Publishers Southern Review of Books seminars open to the public.

In addition to speaking at the seminar, Meradji will have his staff present to answer technical questions about short-run printing and offer instant quotes to seminar attendees.

"It is always an honor and a privilege to be selected to speak at such an event," said Meradji, the president of Apex. "It is recognition that we provide the highest quality book design and book printing services to the publishing industry."

The Southern Review of Books, sponsor of the Spring Book Show seminars, is a newsletter published by Anvil Publishers, Inc., a metro Atlanta book publisher and broker. According to Southern Review editor Noel Griese, details on the seminars are available at either the Anvil Publishers or Spring Book Show Web sites.

Other presenters at the seminars include John Shableski of Diamond Book Distributors, one of the nation's largest graphic novels distributors, and award-winning graphic novel publisher Chris Staros of Marietta, Ga.

According to Spring Book Show facilitator Larry May of Knoxville, Tenn., the largest book remainder dealers from the United States, Canada and Great Britain will be attending the Atlanta show, where they'll be able to buy stock for as much as 80 to 90 percent off suggested retail price. Vendors will display their wares in over 70,000 square feet of space at the World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta.
