Save Saturday, March 12th at 3 pm for the last installment of the Writers at Bridge & Main Series at Steel City Coffee House.
One of the legends of Wolfgang Books is that the business began with a single book. Rather than go out with a whimper, the independent book company would like to go out with … one book.
So they’re going to bring in John Reimringer, all the way from St. Paul, Minnesota to go out in literary style. John is the author of the recently released Vestments, one of our 2010 books of the year. It is a powerful and compelling story, not to mention expertly written. One of the most striking aspects of the novel is that John writes so well about such a variety of experiences: the legacies of childhood, a pick-up basketball game, high school love and questions of faith, just to name a few.
Above all, Wolfgang Books always aimed to put the best work in your hands, and Vestments certainly is representative of that. They hope that you’ll be able to make it to this last order of business and help them go out the same way they came in.
This event is free, open to the public and begins at 3 pm at Steel City Coffee House. Please arrive a little early to get a good seat and pick up a drink or snack to enjoy during the reading.
Do note: All of Wolfgang’s books are for sale. Right now every book in the store — new, used and collectible — is 40% off. There are still a lot of great books left, and some are discounted beyond 40%. So stop by and get a bargain. Also, Wolfgang’s tips us off to other independent bookstores that should be under your radar, including the following:
Wellington Square Bookshop is also a great option. It’s a beautiful store that sells new, used and rare books, has an incredible staff and coffee bar. It’s a throwback sort of store so maybe that’s why we like it so much. If you haven’t checked them out, you need to do so.
Chester County Book and Music Company in West Chester was the first bookstore that Jason worked at and is still one of his favorites. It’s huge, and if the staff doesn’t know what book you’re talking about it doesn’t exist. They do an incredible job there, and they’ve always been one of the best bookstores around.
