A note to NVNR booksellers from Julia Fleischaker, owner, Greedy Reads, Baltimore and Remington
“Welcome to Baltimore, all of you beautiful book people! One of my favorite things about my adopted city is that our love for literature and a culture of reading is so seamlessly woven into the fabric of the city. From incredible bookstores (new, used, and even free!), renowned libraries, and award-winning authors to the young writers, readers, and poets who give the city such vibrance and energy; you’ll feel it all around you. There is no gatekeeping here, no secret handshake for access. We are, after all, the city that reads, and we’re so happy you’re coming here for NVNR. “
–Julia Fleischaker, owner of Greedy Reads (2026 Finalist for PW Bookstore of the Year) and Greedy Reads: Remington, and NAIBA Board Treasurer
