Looking Forward to Fall?

Fall Author Tours
It's always a bit exciting when the grids arrive from the publishers with their fall author tour information. We're always a bit excited and a bit apprehensive to see how many authors they are (or are not) sending to the Twin Cities. This season it looks like the metropolitan area fared pretty well--thank in big part to the many book lovers in the metro area. If you'd like more information on our upcoming author events we invite you to subscribe to our author e-news at www.bookstore.umn.edu and enter your e-mail address and select "author news." We'll send you advance information on the authors we are hosting—and your e-mail address is safe with us.
