Two weeks ago I began sharing another side of First Book staffers with behind-the-scenes outtakes from our “What Book Got You Hooked?” photo shoot (if a junior staffer with a digital camera can be called a photo shoot).  Here’s Part Two in that series — which, in the spirit of celebrity contributor Stephen Colbert, may be more aptly named “Better Know a First Book Staffer!”

Find all First Book favorites on our website — and VOTE!  Share the book that got YOU hooked to get it featured on our Top 50 list.  Visitors are permitted to vote once every 24 hours through September 15.
