​

​​Emerson Sistare, co-owner of Toadstool Bookshops in Peterborough and Keene, will talk about the trends in publishing, how the process of getting books into bookstores works, and what is popular with readers now.  He considers himself to be extraordinarily lucky in that he does for work what many do for pleasure - wander bookshelves. He intends to do it for the rest of his life.
