If you’re within commuting distance, or any distance, of Manhattan, and you do not attend the annual New York is Book Country fair, then you should be making every endeavor to do so in the future. Yesterday’s was predictably crowded, but also just as predictably chock-a-block with all manner of interesting things to see and folks to talk with. It’s the only event where I actively seek autographs. At the NBM table we encountered Peter Krupp and Bill Plympton. Heading in the media celebrity direction, we got children’s books signed by Julie Andrews and John Lithgow. Also ran into the board moderator and one of the denizens of the “Peter David Speaks” folder from AOL, although we got permanently separated when Kath and I went over to say hi to Frank Miller at the DC booth. No Marvel booth, which was a shame. Not a *surprise*, mind you, but a shame.
