THE SKY IS NOT FALLING JUST YET!

Now this is more like it! A more positive outlook for the children's book biz out of the mouth's of children's booksellers. Again I say, BUY MORE BOOKS!

Plus, from Editorial Anonymous on Nov. 14, 2008: 

Question from a reader: 

How will the economy affect children's publishing? What's the climate like?

Editorial Anonymous answers: 

Nervous. Children's books are a bright spot for many publishers, though, and historically books fare better in economic downturns than more expensive entertainment (like movie tickets). So while we're all keeping a weather eye on the economy, we aren't building bonfires and discussing the end of publishing as we know it (I mean, not more than we normally do).
