Got Holiday Shopping to Do? Support Local Authors

Posted By on Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 5:04 PM

Tucson Weekly arts editor Margaret Regan will be signing the new paperback version of her book, The Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the Arizona Borderlands, at the Arizona Historical Society's 35th Annual Holiday Bookfair this weekend.

She and two dozen other local authors (Tom Miller, Bernard L. Fontana, Lydia Otero, etc.) will be offering their tomes at a holiday-friendly 20 percent off. The historical society benefits, too. The literary fun goes from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11. Discounts will be offered in the Arizona Mercantile gift shop. Activities for the kiddies take place on Saturday.
