This year’s headlining author is John F. Ross, author of the ground-breaking new book War on the Run, The Epic Story of Robert Rogers and the Conquest of America’s First Frontier. Mr. Ross will give a talk at 1 p.m. in the Warren Room of the Queensbury Hotel, and he’ll be here all day to sell and sign copies of his new book.
Of course, that’s far from all. Again this year, we have approximately 120 authors, booksellers, publishers, non-profits and other groups signed up to attend the Book Fair.
We’ll fill the downstairs of the Queensbury Hotel with all-day author readings, book signings, children’s activities, demonstrations, slide-illustrated talks and more. Offerings include children’s books, regional history, travel books, Adirondack titles, hiking guides, photography, poetry, mystery and detective novels, science fiction, cook books, antique and used books and much more.
Presenters include Adirondack photographer/authors Carl Heilman II, Mark Bowie, Paul Gibaldi — each with a new slide-illustrated multi-media show.
Venerable retired ob/gyn “Dr. Dan” O’Keeffe’s new memoir about of his experiences as a physician in Glens Falls.
