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.
