Salt Lake City, Utah – If you haven't started your holiday shopping yet, grab a pen and tune in for Wednesday's conversation. Doug is joined by local booksellers Catherine Weller, Ken Sanders and Betsy Burton with their picks of the season's best titles. We'll talk about kids' books (no assembly or batteries required!), illustrated books, non-fiction, poetry, cookbooks and of course, some great novels.
