"The ABA is so great at creating an inclusive and supportive community for independent booksellers. Ideas and best practices are shared freely. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed. It was incredibly inspiring. I want to try and bring some of that feeling and support to Canadian independents. Penguin Random House Canada hosted a dinner the first night for all the Canadian attendees. It was wonderful to chat and make connections with fellow Canadian booksellers. Great food, great conversation, and a great start for something more for Canadians."
