This is the exclusive Inside Hollywood edition of printing and distributing books. Even Connie doesn’t know how it works. Paper factories make logs into pulp and presses make pages into books. The books are shipped out to be put on shelves. The most important shelves for Arlo are school libraries, and we talk to librarians about what they think of Arlo.

But what do the advance reviews say? Did Kirkus and Booklist like it? Will the New York Times write it up? Will it sell? That’s the big question now because all the preparation is over. The book goes on sale today. Like... right now. February 6.

This is it. This is launch.
