“The Midwest
Connections program is an absolute boon for independent
booksellers in our region. The MBA office makes the
authors accessible to us for events and makes it easy to
promote these events with their supporting PR materials.
Those events translate into great sales numbers. Most of
our top 15 bestsellers from 2007 were Midwest Connection
books. This would never have happened without this
excellent program. I thank everyone who has a part in
it!”
