Notes from my Inbox

Here are a few items from my recent email that you may find of interest:

• Appalachian Odyssey Authors Signing Their Back-in-Print Book About Hiking from Georgia to Maine. Last year the Authors Guild in New York selected Appalachian Odyssey; Walking the Trail from Georgia to Maine for its Back-in-Print series, and recently iUniverse reprinted the book into its third paperbound edition. Upcoming signing events for authors Steve Sherman and Julia Older include July 18 at the Toadstool Bookshops in Keene NH (11:00 a.m.) and Peterborough NH (2:00 p.m.). On July 25 they’ll be at Bayswater Book Company in Center Harbor NH (1:00 p.m. — 3:00 p.m.) Appalachian Odyssey has been described as "probably the most literate account of hiking the Appalachian Trail's 2000-odd miles" and "recommended reading by through-hiker and day-tripper alike."
  
• New England College (Henniker, NH) has announced their schedule of summer events and poetry readings. It includes a Panel with Donald Hall and Post-MFA faculty on Donald Hall's historic essay "Poetry and Ambition" on July 8, 2009 (free and open to the public).
  
• Gibson's is having a Father's Day Sale! Everything in the store will be 25% off, this Friday and Saturday only, June 19 and 20 (they will be closed on Sunday, in honor of fathers everywhere). This was announced in their store events email newsletter.
