    by Jim Milliot with Rachel Deahl | 04/27/2009 @ 06:00AM

    The exhibit floor at this year's BookExpo America will look different from the hall at the 2008 BEA in Los Angeles and even from 2007, when the event was last held at New York's Javits Center. That is not necessarily a bad thing, according to the show's general manager, Lance Fensterman. “It will be a more concentrated show,” Fensterman said.

  • Why Not Change? BEA in 2009

    By Michael Coffey | 04/27/2009 @ 06:00AM

    What a difference a year makes! Last May, the Dow was well over 13,000; the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were squabbling over unseated delegates, and Sarah Palin was a nobody. In publishing, 39-year-old Markus Dohle was about to take the reins at Random House, Kindle was a curiosity and Twitter was the nobody.
