Big news in the Bookfair world...economic trickle down?

I just received an email from Bruce Gventer announcing that due to feedback from exhibitors and potential exhibitors and the economy in general, he is putting his New York bookfairs on hiatus. This would appear to mean that there will be no shadow show to the NY ABAA Bookfair. This would be a great shame, on many fronts...especially as the new location at Hunter College was quite wonderful.

I hope things change in the near term and that the shadow show is able to go forward. It would be a real loss for the weekend as a whole...
