The last time I attended Book Expo America was in 2002 in NYC.\u00a0 It was before I started my publishing firm, Ascend Beyond Publishing<\/a>.\u00a0 I definitely feel like I waited too long to go back but I did try to make up for lost time soaking it all up and managed to get some nice advance copies of upcoming books.<\/p>\n

I am a book lover myself which is one reason I got into the publishing business.\u00a0 I can honestly say my legs hurt every night from all the walking on the convention floor during the day.\u00a0 The are so many exhibitors to visit and products to check out.<\/p>\n
