Well, my third ICRS has come and gone. A few observations: A lot less people walking around compared to last few years. My kids can only handle about 1 1/2 days at the show. They did well most of the time. Disappointed by less authors & artists. It seemed like most booths cut back on their book signings & musical guests. I was disappointed! St. Louis had less affordable food than previous two locations. Bookstores on a budget might have found this challenging. It was nice to save on plane tickets & shipping boxes since we were able to drive. Thankful for family time & two great sites for my family: City Museum & Arch!
