Spring Road Trip Wrap Up
A grand gathering of booksellers, publishers, and authors in Columbia, Missouri
Spring Road Trip 2024
In conjunction with our host stores Black Tea Bookshop, Skylark Bookshop, and Yellow Dog Bookshop, we met in Columbia, Missouri on April 17 and 18 for a wonderful gathering of booksellers, publishers, and authors. We've compiled an overview below, and of course, what's hard to capture is the camaraderie that developed over the course of these two days. We made friendship bracelets with our bookstore names on them, competed in a haiku contest, hung out at the Columbia Art League, met compelling authors, and overall had an amazing time.
