We have been excited about attending this event at Politics & Prose ,after finding out about it online a few months ago.
We wanted to be sure to get front row seats and a parking space ,so we arrived two hours early.
It’s a good thing Modern Time Coffeehouse, a charming coffee shop, is in the basement of the store. We had some hot chocolate and lemon macaroons while the booksellers set up for the event.
