Children's book illustrator Kyra Teis will sign copies of her new book, "Sometimes When I'm Mad," released Sept. 21, as well as the already published "Sometimes When I'm Sad."

Kirkus Review calls "Sometimes When I'm Mad" a "resourceful, expertly written tale that explores and validates children’s emotions." Teis's illustrations "thoughtfully emphasize the girl’s emotions and body language, as when she sits alone feeling 'icky and tricky.' Many feature colorful backdrops with textures like scratches and lines.

Jim & Carol McCord will be in the store to sign their book, Beneath the Midi Sun, which features a mix of photography and poetry. 

Local author Dennis Webster will be at the store to sign "Haunted Adirondacks," which explores the scariest haunts the Adirondacks can offer.

Russell Dunn and Barbara Delaney will be at the store to sign copies of their latest guidebook, "Paths to the Past: History Hikes through the Hudson River Valley, Catskills, Berkshires, Taconics, Saratoga & Capital Region"

We regret that due to rising Covid-19 cases, John Gray has decided to cancel all in-store events. However, we will take orders for signed copies of his new book, "Chasing Manhattan," through Friday Sept. 17. Please place your order by calling 518-346-2719 (no email orders). If you already have purchased the book and were planning to come for the Sept. 18 event, you may bring the book into the store anytime before Sept.

Miki Conn reads from and discusses her book "Out of My Mind: A Quirky Look at Life Through Poetry."

The poems, illustrated by Conn's original artwork, reflect on the beauty, challenges, emotions, and spirituality of everyday life.

"Conn's poems courageously and magnificently intensify the meaning of life-the material world equally with the spiritual world. This book is a must read." - Leonard Slade, Jr., author of "Sweet Solitude"
