Hey now. I think I'm the only one still working in the book industry (YMAA is an indie publisher, distributed by PGW), so this interests me too. I do get publishing industry newsletters but somehow this one got by me, so thanks for the heads up.
Honestly, the only thing I remember offhand about B&T is that they gave out nice book bags at ABA one year with a cute cat on them. Don't have mine anymore, or maybe it's in storage at my mom's house.
