I think the book business is the place to be right now. The store is doing so well that we are all holding our breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. The big, heavy, orthopedic shoe of economic woe. We stifled all hopes for the 11th Annual Southern Kentucky Bookfest. We thought because there was no Mitch Albom or Harlan Coben this year, sales would be significantly lower. We were wrong. This year we had the hilarious Jill Connor Browne, Ellen Hopkins, and Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind Elmo. Elmo came as well, although we couldn't afford the larger size Elmo because contractually, he requires a first class seat, the smaller Elmo fits in a carry-on. Which leads me to think that the Bookfest could save a lot of money if only all the authors would fit in a carry-on.
