There is a version of Steven “Pappy” Strong that most people never get to meet. The Book Trap had that conversation exclusively, sitting poolside with Pappy to talk about where he’s been, what it cost him, what almost took him out for good, and the publishing house he’s now building from the ground up. What we found was a man who has earned every word of his story, and is finally in a position to tell it on his own terms.
