The SIBA visitors and board members were the greatest! Everyone gets their name tagged to their picture tomorrow but for midnight - smiles, places, action. We told stories and celebrated the same. Thank you booksellers across the south and the U.S. for loving books and making them a life long passion!

  3. I love the banjo on his knee! I'd be worried Kelsey would get one of those, except she has a very low pain threshold...
