ABFFE operates a First Amendment hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist you whenever you confront an emergency, whether it is the result of a customer complaint or a police demand. If you ever need an experienced First Amendment lawyer, we can help you find one.

ABFFE is the bookseller's voice in all free speech controversies involving books and other written material.  We alerted booksellers to the dangers posed by the USA Patriot Act and helped them communicate their concerns to Congress.  ABFFE also opposes efforts to ban books in public schools and libraries and files amicus briefs in cases challenging school censorship.

ABFFE helps booksellers communicate the importance of free speech to their customers, building support for First Amendment rights that will be critically important when censorship controversies arise.  ABFFE is a sponsor of Banned Books Week, the only national celebration of the freedom to read.

ABFFE ensures that booksellers play a role in all important First Amendment cases.
