Hemingway

We’re excited about Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition by Ernest Hemingway, edited by Sean Hemingway which should be in the store this Tuesday, July 14th.

Read the New York Times article about it, including an interview with local resident Patrick Hemingway, here. You can also read an excerpt from it here.
Upcoming Titles

Our website now features a book calendar with just a sampling of the great new books coming out this fall with expected release dates. We’re happy to pre-order any of these for you at any time. Just call, email or stop in. We’ll even take a nice, old-fashioned letter in the mail.

EVENTS

Art Walk

We’ll be open until 8pm for this Friday’s Art Walk (July 10), and we’ll again host the Intermountain Opera Association.  Also, come see some work by Native American painter Robin Rexroat, featured here for the Art Walk.

Crazy Days

Come downtown for the bargains during the annual Crazy Days Friday and Saturday, July 17-18. We’ll be open from 9am-6pm each day and will have books and cards at our sidewalk sale.

Readings & Other Events Begin Again in the Fall!

More to come. Check our website’s event calendar & stay tuned to the newsletters for the latest information.

Tuesday, September 15th 7pm

Jamie Ford will read from and sign his debut novel, Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

Book Clubs Get-together

Look for more information about a meeting for local book clubs this September where we’ll host an open forum for discussion and information. If you are a member of a local book club, please let us know how the Country Bookshelf can best serve your needs. We gladly order books in small quantities for many clubs. See our recent post about this, including a list of recent local book club choices.

One Book One Bozeman

Events for the community reading program, One Book One Bozeman, happen this September. The Soloist by Steve Lopez is this year’s selection, and it is also the MSU freshmen read.

Thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you soon!
