BOOKED SOLID IN GOTHAM

摘要

For the past half dozen years or so, BookExpo America (BEA) has biennially touched down in New York City, hopping to Chicago, DC, and Los Angeles in between. No more. For the next four years-at least-the annual book bonanza will call Manhattan's Jacob Javits Convention Center home. Times are hard, and publishers are hurting, so anchoring in the Big Apple until things recover-one hopes-will allow them to bring more books, galleys, and personnel without hefty travel/shipping costs (although we still expect skimpier giveaways this year). Here's a sampling of what we think are the hot programs. As always, don't forget to drop by LJ's Librarians' Lounge (Booth 753) for refreshments and chat; our booth is 3215. And, oh, yeah, wear sensible shoes.
