More than 200 booksellers applied for the 2019 scholarships over just two weeks, representing 145 bookstores in 39 states and the District of Columbia.

Deutsch was one of several ABA member booksellers who attended the fair, including three who received the 2018 Bookselling Without Borders scholarship from Europa Editions.

Bookselling Without Borders, a scholarship program for booksellers that aims to make the American book market more welcoming to international voices, just kicked off its 2019 crowdfunding campaign.
