We are fortunate to have many talented and creative authors come to Booktowne throughout the year for our author signings and discussions. We recently had an event with The Book Doctors, bestselling author David Henry Sterry, and his wife, literary agent and author Arielle Eckstut, both from Montclair, and authors of the new book, “The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published.”. The turnout and event went very well and the following is a special note from them regarding their thoughts on BookTowne.

"Dearest BookTowne: "If you want to have a professional, top-drawer bookstore event, then you should pick up the phone right now and call Booktowne. This is a store that takes its events seriously. They are the only store we've encountered (of over 150 bookstores we've had events at) that has hired an outside marketing professional to make sure their events the best they can be. This is a special bookstore with a special owner in a special community that cares about books!"

Thank you to all authors who come to our world of books and friendship.
