Paperbacks, author visits, signings!
This month you can expect a thrilling flurry of activity. Both the UK and US paperbacks are published this week. Both editions are similar to the hardback, with an updated final chapter, and other minor amendments - UK readers will be overjoyed to hear that the Gerard Malanga photo of a naked Iggy, which was printed poorly in the UK 1st edition, is rendered in scintillating detail.
Almost as exciting as a naked Iggy, is the prospect of in-person appearances (fully clothed) by Paul Trynka in London, East Lansing, Ann Arbor and Detroit, as follows:
Saturday, 19 April: book signing, Waterstone’s Greenwich, London, at 2.30.
Saturday 26 April: author appearance at the Michigan Night For Notables, Library of Michigan, East Lansing, 7-9.30 pm.
The Michigan Notable Books program celebrates significant works on local history and culture. I am honored to be included, and looking forward to meeting the Governor Of Michigan, Jennifer M. Granholm, who will be present at a reception on the Saturday evening. Readers of the book will savor the delicious irony of this, as a young James Osterberg once campaigned in a Boys State competition in East Lansing, making it as far as the final round.
