Domenica alla Fiera

March 22, 2009

We went to the Fair on Sunday morning to check out set-up. Like watching grass grow, only slower. Seemed like lots of Italian guys setting up, not many exhibitors. Plenty of booths and lots of folks I didn't recognize. Time will tell.

Klaus Flugge of Andersen Press reminded me that he was going to be doing books with Lerner. Few or no editorial people from Random House, Scholastic, Penguin, etc. Macmillan is here in force with Jean Feiwel, Simon Boughton and Laura Godwin, but more about them later.

It's nice to know that some things don't change too much.

So fun to read your posts! And seeing the picture of Beppe has instantly transported me back to the Piazza Maggiore of years gone by. Can't wait to hear more of your adventures.
