On Wednesday evening (7:30p), Wordsmiths Books will be hosting Newsweek’s style and cultural reporter Dana Thomas, while the bookstore’s parking lot will play host to the CSPAN2’s famous Book TV bus.
Book TV will be onsite to film Thomas’ reading and discussion from her latest release Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster. Thomas’ book delves into the world of “New Luxury”, where brands like Gucci, Prada and Burberry have sacrificed quality for mass production.
Afterwards make sure you make time to tour the Book TV bus, “which includes a tour of the state-of-the-art studio set, an interactive demonstration about Book TV programming, the opportunity to learn how a television show is produced, and a chance to sign up for programming alerts”.
See the Wordsmiths website for more details.
