JUNE 2014 
 
         
         Happy June! We had a great time last week at BookExpo America. It was refreshing to hear some great (and positive!) perspectives on where the publishing industry is headed. 

         We're also looking forward to participating in the
Academy of Management's Annual Meeting here in Philadelphia, August 1-5. So far over 4,000 attendees have registered. Will we see you there?
