"BookShopped," starting at 8 PM, will bring together the people who run four of NYC's best known independent book stores -- The Strand, McNally Jackson, Word, and Book Court -- to talk about the inner workings and psychologies behind these establishments. Kate Garber at Strand will present some of the ways that bookstores can use interesting retail tactics to manipulate customers into buying things; Daniel Nelson and Sandeep Bhuller of McNally Jackson will give an overview of bookshop life; Jenn Northington from Word will randomly draw topics submitted by guests for a live, in person, totally off-the-cuff anti-Google search; and Marissa Levin from Book Court will do a geographically-oriented talk on the writers (present and past) who have made their mark on the literary landscape in both Book Court’s neck of the woods (Boerum Hill) and ISA's (Williamsburg).
