What Circuit Rider Books needs from you...

Our services for each event are custom-tailored to your special needs, location, time schedule, topic, audience, and table space available. The sooner you contact us and the more information you can give us, the more likely you are to receive the services you desire on the dates you wish to have them. We book large events a year and more in advance....and smaller ones as little as six weeks away, if dates are open. Events requested for dates less than six weeks away will not have the opportunity to request specific titles for their event: you will have to rely on our stock in hand as of the date of your event.
