The panel will take as its subject what Eckstein said he considers the heart and soul of every community: the local bookshop, each possessing their own unique quirks, charms, and stories. Eckstein, whose humor pieces and cartoons have also appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, will be joined on the panel by Jennifer Haigh, author of the new novel Heat and Light (Ecco), and Amy Stewart, owner of Eureka Books in Eureka, California, and author of Girl Waits With Gun (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and its follow-up, Lady Cop Makes Trouble. The November 19 panel, taking place just a week before Indies First on Small Business Saturday, will be moderated by American Booksellers Association CEO Oren Teicher.
