The Los Angeles Times: Festival of Books April 18th - 19th, 2015

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books is from April 18th to the 19th, 2015. We have been not only supporters but have attended virtually every festival since we came to Los Angeles. All my clients know I do not work this weekend. Will take calls and send a few emails as time permits between book signings and book discussion panels.

Funny part is every year it is one of the hotest weekends, so you can imagine lugging hard cover books from one book signing to another translates to real work:)).

 

 

Needless to say, the Mystery Sections, the Cooking Pannels and of course the Bargain book sections have reservations for me:). Ironically so are the rare and collectibles as well. So hope we can have some discipline and not go crazy on buying books!!!

 

OK as you can see this looks like fun Avocado & Crabmeat and a few other items:)) clearly I will have to make this dish:))

 

So if you want to have fun and learn about books this is the place USC this weekend!

Hi Endre --- yes, I know your love of books and when I see the marketing for this event, I think of you.   Here's to a fun weekend -- sun block, plenty of water and may I suggest a portable cart too to haul away your treasures.

I'm an avid reader and I have a passion for the arts. This event sounds perfect for everyone! Everyone needs to put down their cell phones and get back on track to become more involved with cultural awareness through reading and the arts.

Hi, Endre...I think it's great that you support this event. Books are wonderful. While I do see the value of having a Kindle, or any other type of electronic reader, there is nothing like settling into a comfortable chair and holding a book.

Joe Petrowsky  sorry for the late response to everyone, the book festivals are still popular, what I find is the Authors are not as much into it, so fewer authors...interstingly the demand from the fans are still there...Endre

George Souto indeed Diane & I look forward to April and the one weekend is too short...but the books keep increasing:)Endre

Raymond E. Camp  I force myself to timeblock and read....
