What Are Other Bloggers Saying About BookExpo?

⇒BookFox has some video interviews like this one with Kelly Link:

⇒Bethanne Patrick, PW‘s “Book Maven” (who I saw fleetingly for two seconds as we passed each other outside the auxiliary exhibition hall: “It’s really a pleasure to be in a convention center that’s modern, clean, and spacious. It makes a difference.”

⇒Literary agent Kristin Nelson: “Jeff Bezos… what a snoozer. I’m as evangelical for the Kindle as any good consumer can be but the first 30 minutes of his ‘talk’ was basically a commercial for the Kindle.”

⇒Carolyn Kellogg of the LA Times bookblog Jacket Copy got some fun mini-interviews on the show floor with the likes of Julie Burton and Richard Nash.
