Jessica so how was the small press book fair?
sorry I couldn't make it in....buried in grading...


Jessica Eugene: you will be at the small press book fair? I used to be there--at a table (representing FC2)--but haven't been since they moved it from March to December.
Maybe I will try to make it in this year...
