2026 Nonfiction Author Series - Author Evan Friss

Description

The 2026 Nonfiction Author Series is one of the fundraisers for the Friends of the Library. Tickets are for the series with four New York Times best selling authors. Evan Friss is the first of four authors. Event includes breakfast, lecture and book signing. The Bookshop, a New York Times best-seller, is an affectionate and engaging history of the American bookstore and its central place in American cultural life: from department stores to independent shops, from highbrow dealers trading in rare first editions to sidewalk vendors, and from chains to special-interest community venues. People Magazine said the book is “fascinating – a heartfelt, essential love letter to the literary sanctuary of bookstores and the people who run them.” The book was a Goodreads Choice Award Winner in History and Biography and named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 “must read books” of 2024.
