I'm coming back from #SanDiego, where I attended the #FiestaDelLibro, a #Spanish language event at the #Mexican Consulate with #readers, #booksellers, representatives from the county's #libraries and more. I spoke about my #novel "La Noche en la zona M" (Night at the M Zone), a #CliFi #book for young readers. I'm grateful for the invitation and wishing to return!

I would like to recommend the Mysterious Bookshop in NYC. A cheerful gentleman, informed of my general likes, pulled out a slew of books and I bought four, each one the first in a series. #bookshop #booksellers #reading #ReadingCommunity

29 December 1832: Death of Johann Friedrich Cotta (b. 1764), greatest German #publisher of the era of #Classicism & #Romanticism.
He revived the moribund family firm in Tübingen & recruited so many leading #authors that contemporaries called him the Napoleon of the #booksellers & spoke of the company's "monopoly on the classics" until the expiration of eternal publishing rights in 1867.
