I know this doesn't exactly fall within the range of this group's focus, but I'm
at the end of my rope, and I would expect at least one of you (as voracious readers)
may know of or even own the poster I'm looking for. A couple of years ago, I
attended the Texas Library Association Conference in Dallas. One of the exhibitor's
booths featured posters for sale, and among them was a colored sketch of a
woman surrounded by books. I think the poster was entitled "Book Woman" or
something along those lines. The style was cartoony, not realistic. I was
interviewing for a position and could not wait in line to purchase it. My mother
looked for this poster for me at ALA this year but did not find it at the ALA
store. (Probably because my description, as it is here, was very sketchy.) If
anyone out there knows what poster I am referring to and can tell me where to find
it, I would be eternally grateful. Feel free to send it to my personal e-mail
so the others will not have to contend with extra messages. Thanks!!!

I know the one you mean but I can't remember where I saw the graphic. (I
think it included book bags, tee-shirts, and similar items as well.)
Might it have been UPSTART? I know our library uses their promotional
materials a great deal. I can't find an internet address but I did find
a toll-free number. 1-800-448-4887.

I have the t-shirt and the poster. One was a gift and the other I
purchased in a book store. The artist's name is Kiki and is dated 1989. I
have seen it in several catalogs, but not lately.

I saw it at ILA this fall. Think it is ALA, they have one in their 1996 catalog called "Book Woman" (totebag, t-shirt, & notecube). It would be worth a phone call 1-800-545-2433. They could fax you a picture of it to be sure it is what you are looking for.

Thanks to all the Fiction-l'ers that replied so promptly to my query about the
poster I was searching for. Thanks to their suggestions, I have a copy ordered
and on its way!!! You are really a sharp bunch. I bow to your collective
wisdom! Thanks again.

I have seen this on book bags. And I think you will find it in one of the ALA
catalogs. Not sure if shirt is in it.

Hope this helps,
