Winter Institute 2024 brought more than 950 members of the American Booksellers Association together in Cincinnati, Ohio, February 11–14. Participants enjoyed a whirlwind of keynotes, panels, receptions, bookstore tours, and parties that lasted for four days. PW's two intrepid reporters collected a sampling of memorable moments with both familiar and new faces from the ABA’s 19th annual conference of indie booksellers.
