Books & Blooms Book Fair (7/12)

 

The fourth annual Books & Blooms book fair at the Gardens will pair readers with their favorite authors - many of them major award winners - for conversation, readings and book signings. Meet approximately 70 authors from Maine, the Northeast, and beyond - but all with a Maine connection. Books are available for sale, and participating authors will give café and garden talks. The Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library will host a garden-oriented used-book sale.

Books & Blooms is co-sponsored by Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. The event is free for Gardens members and with regular Gardens admission for non-members. MWPA members who are not Gardens members will receive reduced rates on Gardens admission.

Participating authors are listed below.

The author of Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America, Eric Jay Dolin, will give a lecture the evening prior to Books & Blooms. See the separate listing for July 11.
