New York Book Festival

Nothing like last-minute publicity, but in case you're in the city today, come on by and see us. The whole family will be hanging out with Tom while he signs Twilight of the Bums. The details:

Starcherone Books would like to invite all of its New York friends to come visit our book table in the New York Book Festival this Saturday in Central Park.

The Festival will be held in front of the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 28. The bandshell is located just east of the Bethesda Fountain.

As well as Starcherone editors Ed Taylor and myself, we'll have author visits and signings during the day:

12-1 pm - Joshua Cohen, author of A Heaven of Others, Senior Book Critic for The Forward, recently featured as well in the current Harper's Magazine.

2-3 pm - cartoonist Tom Motley, illustrator of the Raymond Federman/George Chambers collaborative fiction, The Twilight of the Bums, and cartoonist for The Brooklyn Rail.

The 2008 New York Book Festival is an annual program celebrating books that deserve greater recognition from the world’s publishing capital.
Last year, over 20,000 attendees enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Manhattan’s Central Park as they browsed books, listened to music and author readings and enjoyed our food vendors. This year, the June 28, 2008 edition of the day festival will offer expanded stages and new opportunities for authors, publishers, musicians and vendors.

See you there!
