Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart and Me, Wrestling With Book Sales

I am the volunteer coordinator for the 2008 National Press Club Book Fair and the volunteers who worked the tables with you, Al Felzenberg, and the "Hitman" enjoyed themselves greatly. Thank you for being there.

Excellent job of describing the crowd. Some came from work while others drove many miles to get there. The woman who bought the Hitman's book and then came for a picture later is my wife, who was a volunteer working at the other end of the room.

Robert Schlesinger and Al Felzenberg were incredibly successful at Book Fair, and they were big stars for us. We were thrilled to have them. Yes, we loved "Hitman," and I'd vote to invite Hart back anytime, but "White House Ghosts" and "The Leaders We Deserved" are key titles for the Press Club, and I'm delighted that both authors were able to join us on Tuesday. Sales of both books were excellent.
