"How quickly 10 years goes! Congratulations, HBG, and thank you for being such a great partner to indies. I can't wait to see what you do in the next 10!" --Suzanna Hermans, Oblong Books, Rhinebeck, N.Y.
"Congratulations to everyone in the Hachette Book Group on 10 exciting years. At Book Passage, we consider HBG a treasured partner. Together we've launched new authors and produced events with literary geniuses, historians, rock stars, enchanting children's authors and world leaders. The HBG people, from the editors who acquire outstanding books, to the committed sales, publicity and marketing teams, make this publishing house unique. Our staff gets excited when a trusted HBG friend introduces us to a new author. May the future be filled with HBG books that make us laugh, cry, question the known, and explore the unknown." --Elaine Petrocelli, Book Passage, Corte Madera, Calif.

"Working with Hachette Book Group over 10 has provided my store with a wealth of opportunity to sell thrilling books by the inimitable George Pelecanos and Michael Connelly. Keith Richard's expansive autobiography Life told the story a generation's icon, and Sally Mann's recent Hold Still is one of the most thoughtful and well-written memoirs of the life of an American artist from the south. We've been privileged to sell provocative novels readers want to discuss, such as Room and The Snow Child. We sell classic authors such as Luis Alberto Urrea and Sherman Alexie. No store would be complete without Jewell Parker Rhodes' profound Ninth Ward. And we connect with so many fans of Nicholas Sparks, Stephen Colbert. We are also extremely thankful to James Patterson for his generous support of our store and industry. In short, having a publisher partner providing a rich cultural selection of books to sell to all ages is a godsend to a store like Watermark Books & Café." --Sarah Bagby, Watermark Books & Café, Wichita, Kan.
"Congratulations, HBG! I am grateful for 10 years of bestsellers (and it feels like Tina Fey alone has been on our list almost that long!), of literary longshots that somehow ('somehow' being quite obviously the phenomenal team at HBG) fairly often become bestsellers and prizewinners. I am grateful for 10 years of friendship with said phenomenal team. I am grateful for Malcolm Gladwell and James Patterson, Malala and Colbert, Donna Tartt and Kate Atkinson, Sherman Alexie and David Foster Wallace... oh wait--that's a list that never ends! I am grateful for CEO Michael Pietsch and his insightful, passionate and public advocacy for the book industry overall. HBG, I wish you all the success that you deserve for many more years to come." --Sara Hinckley, Hudson Book Group, Marietta, Ga.
"It has come to my attention that Hachette Book Group is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and I wanted to offer Readerlink's sincerest congratulations. Hachette Book Group has continuously been one of Readerlink's premier partners. Its business approach can be effectively summed up using four C's: Creativity, Collaboration, Character and Courage. [...] Keep the champagne on ice as I'm certain there will be more good things for HBG to come." --Dennis E. Abboud, Readerlink Distribution Services, Oak Brook, Ill.
"Cheers to Hachette for 10 years of outstanding publishing and industry leadership!" --Your friends at Ingram Content Group
