Free Library Book Festival

Join Don Ron Books and a host of other booksellers, publishing companies, and authors this Saturday and Sunday (April 17 and 18) at the annual Book Festival and Street Fair at the Philadelphia Free Library. We were there a few years ago at the first annual festival promoting the original Philly Fiction and had a great time. This year we'll be selling the new Philly Fiction 2, the first Philly Fiction, and other books by top Philly writers.

We are one of more than 70 exhibitors who will spread along 19th Street and Vine Street outside the Central library. Meet your favorite Philly authors and publishers, grab food from Starr catering, hear special music performances, and bring kids for a bunch of kid-type activities. On stage, hear readings and talks by such authors as Sapphire (author of Push, basis for the award-winning film Precious), Man Booker Prize winner Yann Martel, Edgar Award-winning mystery author Harlan Coben, biographer Kitty Kelley, and many, many more. Visit the Free Library website for a full listing of events and activities. And don't forget to stop by Philly Fiction distributor Book Corner (311 N. 20th St, behind the free library) for a 30% off sale on used books.

Hope to see you there.
