Last night, Battenkill Books in Cambridge, N.Y., hosted a reading and launch party for The Woodcutter's Christmas by Brad Kessler, with photography by Dona Ann McAdams. The book is the first release from Galpón Press, the independent book publishing imprint of Filmore Projects, a management and literary advisory firm that was founded by Michael Jacobs, long-time trade publishing executive; and Sheridan Hay, editor, novelist, and teacher.
