A life without bookfairs for a publisher is almost no life at all. I have so missed the radiant energy of curious, passionate readers, the delight of watching someone discover something previously unknown, the fascinating conversations with strangers, the camaraderie of publishing colleagues, the luscious feeling of being in the world—and in a bit of the world that appreciates the great labors of love of small press publishers. It’s been such a very long time! So do come say hello, fondle the new siglio books (and old), and revel in book fair heaven. —LP
