Welcome Back
Like many of you, we've just returned home--it feels more like washing ashore--from BookExpo America in Los Angeles, which ended yesterday. Smaller than last year's BEA in New York, the show was nonetheless a busy, highly focused event marked by informative panels and presentations, lots of shop talk, the usual mix of planned and serendipitous meetings and business deals--and some seriously excellent parties, always a highlight when the show is in Los Angeles. (Rumors are that Prince is still playing at the late-night party for his book.) Over the next two weeks we'll offer coverage of some of the many informative panels and presentations as well as highlights and scenes from the floor. Our first report today focuses on the ABA's new IndieBound program. (See below.)
