Author Event: Elizabeth Hunt

Come to Malaprop’s Bookstore and Cafe on Haywood Rd in Asheville, NC on May 5th at 6 pm to see our author Elizabeth Hunt present her newest children’s picture book REX. If you bring in your own copy or buy one while there, she is happy to sign them! If your kids have ever wanted to meet the author of their favorite bedtime story, now’s the time.

We ask that you purchase the books you want to be signed at our events from Malaprop’s. When you do this you are not only supporting the work it takes to run an events program, you are also telling the publishers that they should keep sending authors here.

Can’t make it to the store for the event? Call us or order the book on our website in advance, and we’ll get it signed for you. Make sure you write your preferences in the comments if you purchase online.
