SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS OF THE S.F.A.B.C. - Media Tie-in Group

The Association's Media Tie-In Book Group meets on the first friday of each month at 7:30 PM at Borders Books & Music, Livingston, NJ, New Jersey. Each gathering features a discussion of a book which is connected to a movie, television show, game or other non-print medium. This can be either a novelization of a movie or the book upon which the movie was based. The discussion includes both the book and its translation into other media.

Philip De Parto is the moderator of this group.
