Explorers — Don't steal this book!

The Explorer's Guide to Rhode Island is out!

The other day I stopped at Borders in the Providence Place mall, and there it was, part of a big bookstore display on exploring America this summer. I don't have so many book titles on my resume that it's still not a thrill to actually see a stack of books with my name on them sitting on a store shelf for sale.

Yes, you can get it by mail from Amazon, but there's still just something about a real bookstore, isn't there?

This Saturday, June 21, I'll be at Barrington Books in the Barrington Shopping Center beginning at 11 a.m., signing copies of the book. With me will be photographer Richard Benjamin, who'll sign copies of his beautiful book of color photos, Rhode Island. (The two of us also will be pairing up for signings at the Providence Place Borders on July 19 and at A Novel Idea bookstore in Bristol July 26.

Hope to see you there!
