Toronto, Ontario - American Political Science Association 2009 Recap

Michigan Press staff went lake-jumping this past week to display our latest political science titles at the American Political Science Association's 2009 Annual Exhibit in Toronto, Ontario. We had great booth traffic, lots of sales, and some great face-to-face conversations with interested professors and authors, especially regarding Michigan's new Digital Transition (click for more info)--not to mention some great weather!

See below for just a few of the authors who stopped by to say hi, and some Toronto-area staff photos:

The Toronto Air Show was going on (left), so we had plenty of jets roaring overhead! The view from just outside the Metro Toronto Convention Center (right), looking up at the CN Tower.
