"Let me start with this: I didn't choose children's bookselling. It chose me. And I think that goes for tons of people in the industry. It doesn't matter what your position is, whether you're a general bookseller or a children's bookseller or you specialize in poetry, it's something that finds you and you fall in love with it."
--Gen de Botton, senior manager of children's bookselling programs & education for the American Booksellers Association, in a "125 Years of ABA" q&a with Bookselling This Week
