Terry Tempest Williams, live from CB! 😳🙌As Arvin mentioned, Terry will not be personalizing books. She will, however, be signing all copies we have on hand of her latest book, The Glorians. If you have already purchased a copy from us, please bring it to the Center on Friday by 6 PM and we will make sure we get it signed for you. We are unable to accommodate signing of previous books of hers that were not purchased recently from Townie Books. This is a must-see event!
