From Sarah:
One of the best things about being a local store is being able to carry North Carolina-related books and other items that you might not find elsewhere. Among these are:
|
|
John Dancy-Jones's new book, a decade in the making,
The Natural History of Raleigh
, about our wonderful greenway system, parks, and other natural areas and including a really interesting section on Lassiter Mill.
|
|
Raleigh architect Frank Harmon's lovely
Native Places
, a collection of sixty-four watercolor sketches paired with essays about architecture, landscape, everyday objects, and nature.
|
|
The new North Carolina Music issue of the
Oxford American Magazine
featuring more than 25 stories exploring the history and legacy of North Carolina music with contributions from novelists Jonathan Lethem, Jill McCorkle, and Wiley Cash, musicians Rhiannon Giddens and Tift Merritt, and featuring Tryon native Nina Simone on the cover. The accompanying CD has pieces by Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, James Taylor, and Elizabeth Cotten, and many others.

IRA DAVID WOOD III,
The Russian Galatea
**Meet and Greet**
It was said that on July 16, 1918, the entire Romanov family was murdered by Russian Bolsheviks. Woven around historical facts, this novel is a detective story about a courageous investigator's obsession with finding out what really happened to Tsar Nicholas II and his family, and his deep relationship with the girl in a faded photograph. Is she alive or dead? Ira David Wood is the founder and current Executive Director of Raleigh's Theatre in the Park. He will not have a presentation, but will greet everyone, and will sign and personalize copies of the book.
