The UK is a-buzz with the release of The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal, the UK edition of Sean Dixon's The Girls Who Saw Everything (published by HarperCollins UK). The Fifth Estate asked Sean about his favourite moments from the cover contest held for the book's publication:
1) First thrill of seeing submissions. (Look! There’s my name! Look at all the pretty pictures!)
In addition to being the start of the summer movie season, a time for flowers and the last name of Rod Stewart's friend Maggie, May is also the month of Doors Open Toronto and the start of Book Expo America! But here's the thing about May: it's the fifth month of the year, and as such (and because we're stumped for sale ideas), we're taking a fifth of the price off every title on the Coach House site!
From May 30 to June 1, the largest publishing event in North America – Book Expo America (or 'BEA' to those in 'the biz') – is hosted at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, and Coach House will be there. Like every year, the Expo provides booksellers and publishing industry workers a preview of exciting new things happening in the world of books.
