Michael Herrmann of N.H.'s Gibson's Bookstore Joins ABA Board

Michael Herrmann

Michael Herrmann, owner of Gibson's Bookstore, Concord, N.H., has joined the board of the American Booksellers Association, according to Bookselling This Week. He fills the spot vacated by Kenny Brechner, owner of DDG Booksellers, Farmington, Maine, who resigned in November in protest against the ABA board's decision to lessen its support of free expression.

Herrmann will serve until the next election, in April, when he will be eligible for a three-year term. He has owned Gibson's since 1995. After a major move in 2013, the store has about 10,000 square feet of retail space that includes a café, a large children's section and one of the biggest selections of books in northern New England.
