and a lot of other authors are, that's who!
The event starts at 7:30 with a reception and segues into dinner at 8:45 which features the association's Book Awards presentation.
The dinner caps off a weekend of panels designed to help independent booksellers in the area.
The 2003 ABACUS Study of independent bookshop operations showed that the average profitability of all 197 participants was -1.67%.
Being an independent bookseller is truly a labor of love.
