Book Expo America is going on this week in New York. I wish I was there listening to the brains of the industry pontificate.

Luckily they many of them have websites and blogs.

This is a really long speech, which I’ve only had time to browse. It’s not nice webcopy with pull quotes and subheads that allow for easy scanning. I’ll try to pull out the interesting bits if I have time.
