“There were, of course, some challenges as 17 small groups of booksellers from all over the U.S. used various modes of public transportation on a steamy day to make their way from Javits to up to three different studios – a few in Manhattan, but most of them in Brooklyn…Despite transportation woes, all the participants PW spoke with praised the tour for being – like the best children’s books – both educational and entertaining. And the glasses of chilled Prosecco that were poured and kept filled for booksellers at one Brooklyn studio made the venture feel even more celebratory.”
