Despite the fact that publishers big and small are pulling out of the event (see yesterday’s MobyLives report), a representative of Reed Exhibitons says that BookExpo Canada is still going to happen, according to a Publishers Weekly report by Rachel Deahl. Reed VP John McGeary, who is also running Reed’s just announced Toronto Book Fair in the fall, seemed to be doing his best to make lemonade out of lemons: he also said “the hope is that some of the houses that pulled out of BEC may attend the Toronto event.”
