Big Wow 2014 -- getting started (1st of 3 posts on Big Wow)

It all has to start somewhere -- and this is what a convention hall typically looks like at move-in ...

We literally build the booth, bringing tables, covers and bookcases with us ...

We get to see the other exhibitors arrive ...

When our pallet of boxes shows up at the booth -- the real fun begins!

And all those grids and displays you see that vendors use to display their wares -- THEY BRING AND BUILD THEM!

Doing shows is lots of physical labor -- it's part of the bookseller fitness plan :)
