Texas
Book Festival in Austin on Oct.
22-23 was a huge success for TCU Press! Three
of our titles were chosen to be featured: Lone
Star Leaders: Power and Personality in the Texas Congressional
Delegation, by TCU's James Riddlesperger
Jr. and Anthony Champagne; Home
Truths, a memoir by Gerald Duff; and
Steplings,
a novel by C.W. Smith. If you didn't make it
to this year's festival, mark your calendar for next year on Oct.
27-28. If you you have never attended Texas Book Festival
you really must check it out. The festival, which will
be celebrating its 17th year in 2012,
was begun by Laura Bush to benefit Texas
libraries.
