Book Expo America!
.
.
I spent all day yesterday walking the LA Convention Center at Book Expo America. Was it cool? You betcha! It was like the biggest bookstore you can possibly imagine... times eleventy five! Every publisher worth their binding was there and then some. There were new books EVERYWHERE!
.
On top of that, most of them were passing out SWAG! I brought home bookmarks, stickers, first editions, and two book bags.
.
I met up with my friend Jane Hammerslough, the author of "The Search for Vile Things", the book I illustrated last year for Scholastic. They had a galley of the book and we got to talk to the sales people about it! The word on the street is that lots of library buyers are taking notes! More coolness!
.
It was a super good day! Better than Puppy Biscuits!
