Somehow book news is all over me this week – I’m going with the flow of it – for today anyway. The Strand is having “Art Week” with a nice line up of events starting today and going into next week. All of these events are at the Broadway and 12th Street location as well as being free and open to the public. I’ll also admit this is straight from the press release…
