I’m back from the Small Press Expo and ready to share some of the exciting things that happened while I was there. I’m joined by two other SPX 2012 exhibitors, Chad Sell and Sally Carson. Together we talk about the unique tone the convention has, offer some tips on tabling at conventions, and take a brief look at setting up your table from a User Experience Designer’s point of view.
Erin Helmrich of the Ann Arbor District Library shows up later to share some more book recommendations and comics events happening in the Southeast Michigan area.

Chad,
Thanks so much for the shout out! I loved your “30 Queens” and “40 Queens” books…definitely one of the cooler things I picked up at SPX this year. Glad you liked what I had on offer, too.
If folks are interested in checking out “The Lost Art of Heinrich Kley,” you can find it here:

I even made a little video “book trailer” for the Kley books that you can check out at the above link.
Thanks again, Chad. Hope to see you at next year’s SPX!
