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.
