The Washington State University Press is hosting its 27th annual holiday book fair today, Wednesday, December 5, from 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., in the Terrell Library Atrium on the Pullman campus. The fair highlights books published throughout the year and is open to everyone. Festivities include steep discounts of 20-50% on all titles, drawings for free books, and complimentary refreshments.
Author Darin Watkins will be signing copies of Chance for Glory, which chronicles the untold story of the magical 1915 season, when coach William “Lone Star” Dietz transformed undersized players into giants on the football field and led Washington State to victory in the first Rose Bowl.
The fair will also feature new titles on a variety of subjects—stories behind Seattle’s monuments; Tri-Cities communities before plutonium processing; the Seattle 7 conspiracy; Captain Cook’s final voyage; low dose radiation; Pacific Northwest Volga Germans; Palouse railroads; and more.
Founded in 1928 and revitalized in the 1980s, WSU Press concentrates on telling unique, focused stories about the Northwest. For information about the book fair, contact WSU Press at 335-7880.
Throughout the Holiday Book Fair week, December 3-7, 2018, sale prices will be valid for phone orders of all titles as well as online orders of new titles released since last year. Use coupon code HBF2018 to get the new titles discounts online.
