Signed books make great gifts!!!

of the author's appearance. If you are interested in obtaining a signed book from
an event occurring tonight or tomorrow - or from an event that has already passed, please call the store at
202-364-1919 or 1-800-722-0790 to confirm availability and to ensure that we receive your order more quickly.
Pre-order a signed book by selecting the book from our events calendar and adding a request for a signed book in the order comments field.
On Monday, October 17, 2011, at 7 p.m., Politics & Prose will host Bill Bryson when he presents the paperback release of At Home at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue.
Bryson’s informative and genial chronicle of the evolution of the modern household might be subtitled “a short history of nearly everything in the house.” Moving room by room through his own abode, a 19th-century rural parsonage, he finds in the layout and objects a wealth of history on everything from disease to landscaping to lighting. Join us for the paperback release of this instant favorite.
Two free tickets will be provided with each purchase of the book (paperback or hardcover)
from
P&P. Additional tickets are $10 (or $12 the day of the event).
Prepayment is required to secure reservations. Books and tickets cannot
be held without a confirmed payment.
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING TICKET ORDERS. AND ANY BOOK ORDERS SENT WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR TICKETS, BUT WILL BE SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND AVAILABLE (FOR IN-STORE PICKUP OR SHIPPING) THE DAY AFTER THE EVENT.
Books and tickets already purchased may be picked up at Politics & Prose until October 16. On October 17, the day of the event, books and tickets will be taken to Sixth & I Synagogue. The event Will Call opens at 6 p.m. and the event begins promptly at 7 with General Admission seating.
If you do not attend the event, your signed book will be taken back to
Politics & Prose for post-event pickup or shipping. We will not have
signed copies available until after the event.
