Hey BSOBers!
I am very sad to say that I will need to retire from posting on the blog.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working and talking with all of you, you’re a fantastic group of people with creative ideas and a good sense of community.
The company I work for has recently landed a new client that is going to absorb a significant portion of my time - which means I won’t be able to give the blog the attention it deserves.
That being said, both Lucas and I are very hopeful that one of you would like to contribute to BSOB. Not only will you be able to provide the news and insight other booksellers are looking for, the networking opportunities are fabulous! I have met some of the greatest people as part of my experience here.
If you are interested, please drop Lucas a line to help maintain what I feel is one of the most positive communities in business. You can reach Lucas by emailing: editor [at} booksellingonlineblog {dot] com
Thank you all once again!
Sincerely,
Paul
