Hope

My McNally Jackson coworker Cheryl Sucher (who's also a novelist and journalist) published a piece called "Glimmers of Hope" in a recent issue of Publishers Weekly. This holiday season was a very busy one at the SoHo bookshop, and Cheryl's article reveals a lot about why, and about what it takes to bring an independent bookstore into the 21st century. . Her last line is something to treasure:

"Holding our breath, we move forward into this holiday season, keeping our eyes on the glimmers of hope on the horizon."
