Readings in the Square: Fall Highlights

While publishers ultimately are in charge of tours, authors do have some say as to where they’d like to go. Invariably, bookstores, aiming for variety and depth in a series and confronted with more books than can possibly fit into the season’s schedule, must make difficult decisions in order to select only the most notable choices. Here are some highlights of the fall season. For more information, please contact the bookstore directly.
