It’s odd to imagine, but one place where you won’t be able to buy a signed copy of my book about the Gateway Arch this weekend is the Gateway Arch. The government shutdown shut down the Arch, where I was set for a book signing on Sunday. But you do have three other opportunities by a copy of the second edition of The Making of an Icon: The Dreamers, The Schemers, and The Hard Hats Who Built The Gateway Arch Christmas.
Today, Saturday, I’m scheduled to sign from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Half Price Books, 1664 Clarkson Road in Chesterfield, and from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. at Barnes & Noble in the West County Center. Then from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, you’ll see me at Half Price Books, 2107 Zumbehl Road in St. Charles.
At both Half Price Books locations, you can also buy my other books, Beer, Brats, and Baseball: St. Louis Germans, The Colorful Characters of St. Louis, and my self-published novel, The Devils Island Lighthouse. I have lots of ways to make sure your Christmas book shopping isn’t shut down!
