More than 400 people packed Politics & Prose last Saturday for the bookstore's tribute to Book World, the Washington Post book section that was shut down earlier this month amid huge staff cuts. The event, introduced by Politics & Prose co-owner Bradley Graham, a Post alumnus (r.), featured former Book World editors and contributors, including Ron Charles, Michael Dirda, Rita Dove, John Williams, Steve Coll, Bob Woodward, Louis Bayard, Nora Krug, and more. The New York Times had an excellent account of the event, which can be viewed on YouTube.
