Introducing TEA at Dog Ears Books

First TEA guest - June 21

As we celebrate our 25th bookstore anniversary this summer, Dog Ears Books will offer a new feature called Thursday Evening Authors, or TEA. Our "tea" will probably be iced and served from a punch bowl, or it may be punch, and we’re not planning china-cup formality in other ways, either, but we hope that holding TEA as a regular weekly event will make it easier for our friends to remember. 

Each Thursday, beginning on June 21, the bookstore will be open from 6:30 to 9 p.m., with each evening’s author scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Presentation format will probably vary from simple conversation and book signings to prepared talks. If we have a Thursday in July or August with no author scheduled, we’ll still be open from 6:30 to 9. So remember --

Two Famous American Naturalists

Henry David Thoreau lived from 1817 to 1862. The Boatman: Henry David Thoreau’s River Years covers the period of his life following the publication of Walden, when Thoreau found himself more and more drawn to Concord’s three rivers (Sudbury, Assabet, & Concord), “the only wild and unfenced part of the world hereabouts,” as he wrote, explaining his preference for river scenery.

John James Audubon: The Nature of the American Woodsman follows Audubon (1785 -1851) throughout his life--down rivers American rivers, into the woods, and to cities in the United States and Europe—as he pursued his art and science along with woodsman survival skills. Note: The author of this book, Gregory Nobles, will make a presentation at Dog Ears Books on Thursday, August 3, at 7 p.m.
