Liz - Our Glenview operation's (known as The BookMarket at Hangar One) store manager and avid book-person, Liz has eclectic tastes. A little bit of everything is how we would describe Liz's interests.



Lydia - Our 'Jane-of-all-trades', Lydia manages our Willis Tower bookstore when she is not buying childrens' books for the company. Lydia's main influence is childrens' literature, from 1st books through Y.A. (young adult). There are few people that know more about kids' books than Lydia.
