A proposal by Northern California booksellers to create a Bookstore Day received a positive reception at BookExpo America.
Northern California Independent Booksellers Association executive director Hut Landon wrote to NCIBA members that he and board member Pete Mulvihill, co-owner of Green Apple Books in San Francisco, "met with several houses and received pledges of support from everyone we talked to. Conversations with the ABA made it clear that they would support a pilot program produced by NCIBA."
NCIBA would like to do a pilot Bookstore Day early next year and perhaps make it a national event late next year or early 2015.
