  • Selected Letters of William Styron
    Dear Winter 2013 Selected Letters of William Styron Book Signing Event Rose Styron & Blakeslee Gilpin February 11th THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2012 With 2012 in rear view, we are very thankful for the many writers who came to us and the publishers who sent them to Square Books, as their books tend to dominate our bestseller list; some, like James Meek (The Heart Broke In, #30) and Lawrence Norfolk (John Saturnall’s Feast, #29), from as far as England – perhaps it’s the fascination with Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey (67) or J. K. Rowling’s Casual Vacancy (78). But as Dear Readers know, this list is usually crowded with those who live or have lived here, like Dean Wells’ Every Day by the Sun (22) or (long ago) James Meredith (A Mission From God, (10); William Faulkner’s Selected Stories (43), Ole Miss at Oxford, by Bill Morris (37), Mike Stewart’s Sporting Dogs and Retriever Training (39), John Brandon’s A Million Heavens (24), Airships (94), by Barry Hannah, Dream Cabinet by Ann Fisher-Wirth (87), Beginnings & Endings (85) by Ron Borne, Facing the Music (65) by Larry Brown, Neil White’s In the Sanctuary of Outcasts (35), the King twins’ Y’all Twins? (12), Tom Franklin’s Crooked Letter Crooked Letter (13), The Fall of the House of Zeus (15) by Curtis Wilkie, Julie Cantrell’s Into the Free (16), Ole Miss Daily Devotions (18), and two perennial local favorites Wyatt Waters’ Oxford Sketchbook (36) and Square Table (8), which has been in our top ten ever since it was published; not to forget Sam Haskell and Promises I Made My Mother (6) or John Grisham, secure in the top two spots with The Racketeer and Calico Joe, nor our friend Richard Ford, with his great novel, Canada (5).

  • Babe Ruth: the Big Bam with Leigh Montville at the National Constitution Center
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Denise Venuti Free Ashley Berke Director of Public Relations Public Relations Coordinator 215.409.6636 215.409.6693 [email protected] [email protected] BABE RUTH: THE BIG BAM WITH LEIGH MONTVILLE AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER PHILADELPHIA, PA (July 7, 2006) – He has been called everything from the Sultan of Swat to the Wizard of Whack, the Caliph of Clout to the Great Bambino, and most notably, the Big Bam. We know Babe Ruth’s various nicknames, but not much about the story behind the man. The National Constitution Center presents Babe Ruth: The Big Bam with Leigh Montville on Thursday, July 27, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700. This program is held in conjunction with the Center’s summer exhibit, Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers. Leigh Montville, award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Ted Williams, tells the true story of Babe Ruth in his new book, The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth was baseball’s original superstar, and for eighty-five years he remained the leader. He was named Athlete of the Century several times, but beyond his baseball statistics, little is known about this legendary player. His childhood, private life, and inner thoughts are now uncovered in The Big Bam, as Montville offers an exceptionally intimate look at the large, loud, enigmatic man who still reigns as baseball’s leading titan. -MORE- ADD ONE/THE BIG BAM Montville used newly discovered documents and interviews, including personal scrapbook pages, to chronicle Ruth’s life from poor city kid in Baltimore to a legendary professional baseball player.
