This just in from Karen Lillis of Small Press Pittsburgh: Small Press Pittsburgh’s Third Annual Holiday Book Sale will be on Sunday, December 6th!
[bctt tweet=”I’m going to Small Press Pittsburgh’s Third Annual Holiday Book Sale!”]“Small Press Pittsburgh is hosting the Third Annual Holiday Book Sale, featuring Pittsburgh’s favorite indie book vendors and the Franktuary Food Truck. This is a great way for holiday shoppers to browse a wide variety of books from Pittsburgh’s knowledgeable curators. Both new and gently used, indie bestsellers and one of a kind finds, local authors and spectacular sales. Fiction, poetry, mysteries, creative nonfiction, radical nonfiction, art books, children’s books, graphic novels, and much more. This event is also a great way to showcase and celebrate the best of Pittsburgh’s own literary indies: Indie bookstores, indie publishers, and small press authors.
