Harvard Book Store is pleased to host an evening in honor of the many authors who have published books on Paige, our in-store bookmaking machine. The evening will include remarks by MISSY CARTER (Living Lines), DARREN CORMIER (A Little Soul - 140 Twitterstories), BARRY GOLDSTEIN (translator of The Yiddish Hobbit), and HEIDI LEGG (My Evangeline), as well as demonstrations of the book machine in action, a book signing, and light refreshments.

Thanks to the technology of our Espresso Book Machine, Harvard Book Store can not only print copies of millions of out-of-print and hard-to-find titles, but also can give authors the chance to have their work published for the first time or to bring their out-of-print work back into print. Since its launch back in 2009, Paige M. Gutenborg has allowed local authors to publish collections of poetry, novels, memoirs, local histories, and many other genres.

Barry Goldstein

Barry Goldstein is a retired computer programmer, who spends his time writing (or trying to), translating, reading, traveling (in northern places by preference), and as much as possible with his grandchildren. He grew up in a Yiddish-speaking home, but didn’t pay attention, until 1996, when he started taking a serious interest. His articles and a few poems have appeared in sundry periodicals, and include translations of classics of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, in particular, the story of Shackleton’s Endurance expedition. Since finishing Der Hobit he has begun work on The Fellowship of the Ring / Di Khavruse fun dem Fingerlekh. More can be found at what passes for his web page: www.bgoldstein.org.
