Winter Institute was always the highlight of my bookselling year, an annual reunion of folks with a passion for books and reading who genuinely want to share knowledge and encourage each other. The book business really is the best business.
I love this description!! It sounds a bit like the East Hampton Author’s Night tent when hundreds of people race into the tent to buy books and have them signed only they mostly race for Katie Couric’s table and/or Tina Brown’s and then finally make it to the rest of us. Still, I get the crying -- plus, I couldn’t stop crying when I was reading This Time Tomorrow! It’s so emotional and I didn’t just think of my dad. I cried because I kept thinking about how my kids will see me when I’m older. Xoxoxo
So good. Wish I owned a bookstore. Or could already call myself a published author. But most of all I would have loved that $29 room service dinner and those eye puffers and hanging out with hilarious you.

What a beautiful tale! I laughed, I cried and I salivated and cringed at that sandwich. F*^k the market, I’m investing in travel and food instead.
That was a rollick of a ride! Never been to a booksellers conference and now I feel I have. Thank you!
$29 dollars for a sandwich...I almost thought you were in Manhattan! 😂 thanks for sharing photos from what looked like such a fun conference!
