Kerry, thank you for this wonderful newsletter and for capturing the majesty that is the SVWC. It was a pleasure to meet you and Sebastian and I look forward to many more times being brought together by books and the writers who write them. And, needless to say, I thank you for highlighting Indie bookselling and Books & Books in particular...
