 Go Set a Watchman Release
The first chapter has been released early. Reactions and reviews to the novel have begun popping up in advance of the official publication date. We're looking forward to checking it out ourselves, and you're invited to join us.
Our Go Set a Watchman midnight release on the evening of Monday, July 13th, anticipates the new book while celebrating its predecessor, To Kill a Mockingbird. Pre-order your book, 20% off, by noon on Monday to guarantee your copy at the release event. We'll be open until at least 12:30am that night distributing pre-orders and selling books.
Our staff is getting ready! Steve is making homemade cookies for the occasion. Marcy is organizing a read-along of favorite passages from To Kill a Mockingbird, starting a little after 11pm. Churchill is making sweet tea. We'll be collecting and posting your remarks on why you love To Kill a Mockingbird throughout the evening. We'll be delivering books to distribute and sell at the end of the Brattle's 9:30pm screening of To Kill a Mockingbird. Join us, Monday night.
(More of an early riser? We'll be open at 9am on Tuesday, July 14th, with copies of the book on the shelves.)
