Book & Puppet Company, the children's book and toy store founded in 2017 in Easton, Pa., by longtime bookseller Andy Laties and his wife, Rebecca Migdal, a puppeteer, author and illustrator, has opened a pop-up this month and December at the Easton Public Market.
The pop-up includes a range of holiday gift books and will feature weekly events for children's book authors and cookbook authors and characters.
Laties was owner of the Children's Bookstore in Chicago from 1985-1996; founding manager of the Eric Carle Museum Bookshop in Amherst, Mass.; manager of the Bank Street Book Store, New York City; and author of Rebel Bookseller: Why Indie Bookstores Represent Everything You Want to Fight for from Free Speech to Buying Local to Building Communities, whose second edition was published in 2011 by Seven Stories Press.
