We regret that in the ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we will be unable to meet with you at the ASA annual conference. We want to highlight new titles that were scheduled to be featured in our booth and hope you will browse the catalog which appears below.

A special 48 hour screening of the documentary film Making Sweet Tea, featuring E. Patrick Johnson, is part of the ASA's 2020 Freedom Courses.

Our editors Ken Wissoker, Courtney Berger, and Elizabeth Ault highlight their recommendationed new titles in a blog post.
