Hooks Book Events in Publishers Weekly!

Check out the link and read about Hooks Book Events in a recent issue of Publishers Weekly! The article seemed timed perfectly with the opening of our new Boston Office. We also were able to meet the PW writer, Judith Rosen when were in Boston last week; she biked in (with helmet) to meet us in Cambridge for a celebratory cocktail! We were also pleased to read in the article about all sorts of innovative book sellers out there keeping good books flowing to all sorts of venues. It was particularly rewarding to share ink with our good pal, Kim Ricketts from Seattle. PPH
