We would also like to thank Britta Koržets who organised book sales at the Estonian Writers’ Union, Kärt Sepp, who made design magic happen at the main venue, and Mari Kaljuste for her light and serene graphic design. Our heartfelt thanks go once again to Dmitri Kotjuh, who recorded it all in photos, and to Ülar Linnuste, who designed Kotjuh’s exhibition in Tammsaare Park.
