February is already half over, and Spring is on the horizon! (Well, sort of.)
Luckily, we have a few fantastic events to get you through this chilly month. Come out to Rhinebeck this Wednesday to hear literary luminary Joshua Ferris read with Jami Attenberg. Saturday we have an event for the kids in Millerton, where Diane Zahler will sign copies of her middle grade novel, The Thirteenth Princess. And then there's Ralph Nader, who will be stopping by both our stores later this month to discuss his newest book.
Spend February at the bookstore!
