Michigan is a state that was hit by the economic crisis perhaps worse than any other. For that reason, among many others, MRA members find that they need to be really well informed when making their purchases, which is why attendees to the show (which averages over 2,500) spend a lot of their time in the Combined Book Exhibit searching for new books to acquire.

This year brings the show and Combined Book Exhibit to Detroit. Combined Book Exhibit’s physical exhibit and catalog will be organized by Dewey Decimal Category.
