Thank you everyone for your perspective on what happened at ALA at the Little, Brown booth.  Your comments have been wonderful. 

I got a voicemail this morning from Miriam Parker at Little, Brown and we connected just now on the phone.  She did not ask me to post any of this.  She only apologized elegantly and profusely for what had happened.

What the woman at the booth told me is NOT Little, Brown’s policy with bloggers.

Miriam was blunt about that.  They have worked with online reviewing for 10 years.  They have no expectation of a positive review.  Whew! 

Matter resolved as far as I am concerned.  Thank you Miriam for contacting me so quickly and being so great about explaining and listening. 

Now back to talking books again!
