The Book Stall starts the new year with an important new partnership with the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, one of the country'soldest and most prominent international affairs organizations. Independent and nonpartisan, the Council hosts public programs featuring world leaders and experts with diverse views on a wide range of global topics. Of course, this means authors, and we are proud to be the bookseller at the Council's book programs.
These author events are open to the public, and Book Stall guests are able to attend paying the $10 member fee instead of the $20 nonmember fee. Register on the Council's website at www.thechicagocouncil.org (go
to "Events" and select the program you want to attend, create an
account, and enter the code BOOKSTALL to receive the membership price).
