See You on Sunday at the BROOKLYN BOOK FESTIVAL

The Overlook Press hopes to see you this weekend at The Brooklyn Book Festival! This fantastic literary festival takes place on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 10 AM - 6 PM, at Brooklyn Borough Hall and Plaza. One of America’s premier book festivals, this hip, smart, diverse gathering attracts thousands of book lovers of all ages.

We'll have our own booth, so please stop by and see both new releases and Overlook favorites - all available at amazingly low Brooklyn Book Festival prices. September releases Deadline Artists, Epic Win for Anonymous, Haiti, Plugged will be on display, as well our beloved Collector's Wodehouse series and the Charles Portis backlist.

We're also thrilled to have Eoin Colfer, author of Pluggged, at the festival this year. Eoin will be on a 3pm panel, "Gumshoe," with Walter Mosley and Joyce Carol Oates, at the St. Ann and Holy Trinity Church, 157 Montague Street.

After the festival, Eoin will be honored at the Irish Arts Center, 55 W. 53rd Street in Manhattan, 6:30pm. This very special evening will feature Eoin reading from his debut crime novel Plugged, as well a Q & A session, with a reception to follow.

Thanks for braving the rain to visit us at the Brooklyn Book Fair!

Thanks to everyone who braved the rain to come support the Brooklyn Book Festival yesterday! We had a wonderful time manning the Overlook booth (which gave us a front-row seat to some outstanding readings!) and seeing the rest of the festival.

If you missed the festival, NY1 ran this piece highlighting the festival. Notice the books they pan over--those are ours! You can see someone paging through Let's Have a Bite! less than 10 seconds in. Hooray!

Here are a few of the photos we took of our time at the BKBF. Sadly, Kate's point-and-shoot didn't hold up very well in the rain, but if you were there, hopefully these photos bring back some great memories of wonderful books!

Can't wait to see you there next year!
