Just purchased my Saturday ticket. I hope this experience will be better than my first year. For some strange reason, I was expecting more book giveaways than booths selling books (and disappointed that the "professional" section got more free books). That's not to say I didn't buy anything --I discovered NY Book Review, which I still look to for suggestions. I did get to speak with R.L. Stine and was able to let him know that he got me into reading as a kid. Oh and canvas totes. I found a load of canvas totes out in front. I'm really fond of totes. But yeah, I wish more authors would show up on the BookCon side. I hope one day Laurell K. Hamilton will show up --her books got me to through high school. :-)
