November/December Holiday Stock Signing Tour:
(Bookstore friends, if you’d like to arrange for signed holiday stock of Greenglass House, The Raconteur’s Commonplace Book, and/or any other Milford title, please contact my assistant, Daniella Soto, at daniella@milford.io)
Every year about this time I start hearing from families and book clubs and wintry-minded folks of all ages who are beginning their annual reads of Greenglass House and Ghosts of Greenglass House. This year, because The Raconteur’s Commonplace Book just came out in paperback and because I was completely inspired by Grace Lin’s and Debbi Michiko Florence’s Very Asian Book Trip, I decided to head out for a few stock-signing day trips. After all, when the weather turns, it’s the best time to book your Nagspeake holiday vacation. Greenglass House and the Blue Vein Tavern always have rooms ready for you!
Here’s my holiday road trip schedule. These are not book events or readings (unless otherwise noted)–I’m just swooping in to sign stock. But if you or anyone you know needs a trip to Nagspeake, these are great places to shop, and every one of them will ship books for you. Where I have additional information (like whether personalization is possible, or whether you need to use specific links to order) I’ll add that info–but you can always call the stores in question to inquire and place orders.
11/15:
Strand Books, 828 Broadway at 12th Street, NYC, (212) 473-1452 (Signed books can only be ordered from Strand after I’ve visited, so note that if you order before there is an official signed book link, you’ll get a regular unsigned book. I’ll update this space with links once they exist.)
