The Pathfinder booth included a broad range of titles, and highlighted its numerous books on the Cuban Revolution. Of special interest to the participants was the new Pathfinder title, Our History is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution. A total of 22 copies were sold at the conference.

One professor who purchased a copy said that he had recently written a book on the immigration of Chinese workers from Cuba to Louisiana to work on sugar plantations in the 19th Century, and was glad to see a book on the little-documented Chinese immigration to Cuba. Many of the scholars who visited the booth noted how little had been written on this subject.

Numerous conference participants signed up for follow-up visits from Pathfinder sales representatives to discuss classroom adoptions and library acquisitions of the new book and other Pathfinder titles.
