In March, we announced a contest for independent bookstores across the nation: the bookseller to create the most festive display commemorating Archipelago’s tenth anniversary would receive invitations to our gala and an all-expenses paid trip to New York City for two!

We are delighted to congratulate our contest winner: Skylight Books, a beloved independent bookstore in Los Angeles, who exceeded our expectations with this amazing display. We want to extend our immense gratitude to its staff of dedicated booksellers for ten years of enthusiasm and support.

We also want to thank all of the bookstores who participated. We would not be thriving today if not for you: the devoted booksellers who have been putting our books into readers’ hands for the past ten years. You continue to do so much for Archipelago, and we are truly grateful.
