Umbrage Crashes the Atlantic Antic

That’s right. We’ve got ourselves a booth for the 37th annual Atlantic Antic, New York City’s largest street festival. We’re bringing some fantastic titles to sell, both new releases and discounted books from our backlist. Swing by if you’re in the nabe. We’d love to see you there!

Here’s our location:

314 Atlantic Ave., nr. Smith St., Brooklyn, NY (in front of the BDG Gallery)

The Grace Before Dying Traveling Exhibition Opens Sept. 21

Grace Before Dying charts the extraordinary breakthrough in humanity that has helped transform one of the most dangerous maximum security prisons in the United States, Louisiana’s notorious Angola prison, into one of the least violent. Tomorrow, the accompanying mobile exhibition opens at the Francis A. Drexel Library at Saint Joesph’s University in Philadelphia. For more information and a list of upcoming venues, check out the exhibition schedule.
