London and NYC book fairs

Book fairs are exciting, and a lot of fun.

 

We recently attended the exciting book fairs in both London and NYC.
Wow… there’s a LOT going on in the book business. There are countless talented writers out there.    Even though more and more people are reading electronic versions of books, print books are still in great demand all around the world, especially since more and more people are learning to read.
Most people we talked to said they would never give up real books, and almost all of them said they like bookstores.    It’s true that in a store it’s easy to browse the various subjects, but most stores can only carry so many books and not everyone has a good store near them.    So, more and more people are buying books online, often from far away.    It’s very convenient and saves money both in actual cost of the book, and in travel.   Many people who love books live in rural areas not served by a quality book store.    It’s great to have a book delivered right to your door.

 

 


We love books

 

 

 

Without books, where would we all be?   That’s the plain fact.

I remember a book long ago when I was very small called the “I Like Book”.     In a whimsical and poetical way it mused upon all the wonderful things in life….. such as… ” I like dogs, big dogs, little dogs, sleepy dogs, dogs that howl in the night, I like dogs”…. etc.
In the modern world many times such simple pleasures are overlooked.     But not here.   We’re going to explore the enchanting realm of books, imagination, poetry, and captivating language that makes books what they are.    Remember, “electronic” books are copies.   Go for the real thing… it’s worth it.
Many of us remember being read to as a child, then learning how to read for ourselves.   Books are wonderful… they provide endless learning and entertainment, and are so simple.    Many a life has been changed by a single book.
We would like to hear from you.   Feel free to join in the conversation, ask questions.
