National authors joining us were Mac Barnett (who gave us his top book recommendations, and signed and sent us bookplates for anyone who purchased his books today) and Andrew Smith (who signed and sent us bookplates for anyone who purchased his books today, plus wrote a personalized note on a manuscript page from that book and sent it along as well)!
