Our student helpers worked hard and made us proud.

Some workers managed to avoid the camera. 
There's always next year and you will be the first to be shot

A Book Fair is about shopping for sure. It is also a chance for authors to meet each other, to be a part of a community which is generally pretty solitary. It is a chance for aspiring authors to pick the experts' brains and to share their ideas with each other.
