  • London Book Fair Restaurant Report

    By Lynn Andriani | 04/27/2009 @ 12:00PM

    I guess if I can get a string of sunny days in London (seriously: I did not open my umbrella once), I can eat six days’ worth of terrific meals without much guidance, too. Here's a look at the pubs, foodie spots, and classic Indian restaurants where I ate while covering LBF 2009.

  • Chillin' in the Apple: Fun Beyond BEA

    From the editors of Time Out | 04/27/2009 @ 06:00AM

    How to choose from the city's myriad cultural and recreation options when you are socked in most of the day at a trade show and watching your expenses? As most New Yorkers will tell you, there is plenty to do in the city to relax, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. The editors of that arts and entertainment bible, Time Out New York, were happy to pass along a few of their ideas.

  • BookExpo America 2009: The Perseus Challenge: the 48-hour Book

    | 04/27/2009 @ 06:00AM

    Perseus Books Group is putting its own spin on how to approach BEA. The company is promising to publish a book within 48 hours and have it ready for a launch party in its booth at 4 p.m. Saturday. The idea, said chief marketing officer Rick Joyce, is to disprove the notion that book publishing is a technology backwater.

  • London Book Fair '09: Quieter But Productive

    By Lynn Andriani | 04/27/2009 @ 06:00AM

    For a fair that was predicted to be quieter than years past, the London Book Fair was busy by many accounts. Talk revolved around the economy, although many American publishers were quick to cite the declining exchange rate of the British pound, which made London somewhat more affordable this year (the pound is down some 27% over last year).

  • BEA 2009: A Different Look For a Difficult Time

    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.

From publishers, editors and publicists, we've collected the standouts and some of the whys and hows.
