We are using Airtable to manage collections and after clicking the Amend Collection button you will be asked to log-in to Airtable.

To continue, log-in to Airtable using the following login and password.

The password is supplied to Super Users by email. Ask us to resend it.

Once in Airtable, the collection is opened for amending.

Here, alterations can be made to all aspects of the collection.

• Click on the name and description to edit them

Presenting Collections

After a few minutes the Collection PDF is modified, assembled and added to the Collection.

Downloading Collection PDFs

When a collection needs to be presented offline (or on unstable bookfair wifi!) then the PDF can be accessed and downloaded.

Any downloaded PDFs should be treated as temporary as they are no longer being updated with the latest information from Bookshelf for Bonnier.

Removing Collections

To remove a collection that is no longer needed from Bookshelf, please select the collection and click the Request to remove the Collection button.

Circular Software will then remove the collection and confirm back by email when this is done.

Coming soon - unwanted collections are to be automatically deleted from Bookshelf and a confirmation email sent.

BookShelf Presentations are always updated with the latest data, covers and featured artwork but if you do need to adapt them for specific meetings or clients you may download them as a PDF and convert that PDF to Microsoft PowerPoint.

Collections are our way to make smaller groups of selected Bookshelf titles that are suitable for a particular use e.g. focussed on certain interests, customers, clients or meetings.

Bonnier Bookshelf users can create and manage their own collections and then share them with others using the collection's Bookshelf link.

Presentation Slides featuring the up-to-date covers, featured spreads and the latest Biblio data for each title are grouped together into Collection Presentations that can be presented online and downloaded as a PDF.
