The Webster Groves Bookshop will host four “Meet The Authors Events” this fall on a variety of topics. Authors will be available for informal discussions of their work and to sign books for holiday gift-giving.
On Sat., Nov. 2, from noon to 2 p.m., author Don Corrigan will sign his new work, “In Search of Manhood: American Men’s Movements Past and Present.” The book analyzes men’s groups, and also iconic male role models, from Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson to Jamie Farr and Alan Alda.
On Saturday, Nov. 16, from 1-3 p.m., authors Dan and Connie Burkhardt will sign their new work, “Trails Across America.” The coffee table book covers magnificent sites to behold along the Katy Trail and the fast-developing Rock Island Trail. It’s richly-illustrated and a ready-made guide.
On Friday, Nov. 29, from 2-4 p.m., author Andy Hahn will be on hand to sign his coffee table book, “Mapping St. Louis.” The book charts the city’s growth from its founding in the 1760s to the present day. It includes 40 maps along with short essays, detailed views, and captioned illustrations.
On Friday, Dec. 6, from 12-2 p.m., author Jaime Mowers will talk about her contribution, “A Legacy of Love: Turning the Unthinkable to the Unstoppable” to a collection of essays by Herstory Press. Entitled “inHer Power, inHer Wisdom,” the book offers insights and is a guide to overcoming life’s hurdles.
All book events are at The Webster Groves Bookshop, 27 North Gore Ave., in Old Webster. The store features local and national bestsellers, many that can make the perfect stocking stuffers for the holidays.
