It’s going to be a pretty big week next week at Lemuria. It’s the week before Christmas, so please let us help you pick out books for your friends and family. We also have a whole bunch of book signings going on. Come get a book inscribed as a gift or for yourself. Here’s what is going on-
Monday:
From Bags to Riches by Jeff Duncan. Introduction by Deuce McAllister.
Yes, Deuce is going to be signing in the bookstore. Jeff Duncan is a reporter for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans and his new book covers the Saints’ rise from post-Katrina to Super Bowl Champs. Deuce, the former Ole Miss hero and Saints’ all time rushing leader, wrote the introduction. They both will be here Monday starting at 4:00 to sign From Bags to Riches. They promise to stay until everyone gets their book signed.
Tuesday:
Wild Abundance Edited by Susan Schadt. Photography by Lisa Buser
This is the hunting camp cookbook that everyone has been talking about. These are the same folks that put out the hunting camp book First Shooting Light two years ago. This book is a blend of great chiefs (some from Mississippi) with hunting camps and great photography. Our signing will feature the author and editor and Jackson’s Derek Emerson of Walker’s and Local 463 fame. They’ll be here starting at 5:00.
Wednesday:
The Fall of the House of Zeus by Curtis Wilkie
If you live in Mississippi and you don’t know about this one then you need to come out a little more often. This is Curtis Wilkie’s great new book about Dickie Scruggs. It’s a huge Mississippi bestseller and must-read. It’s not only a must-read, but a must-talk about book. Curtis will be back for his second signing for Zeus at Lemuria. He’ll be here at 4:00.
Thursday:
Gridiron Gold: Celebrating Over 100 Years of Mississippi High School Football
This is a great book for Mississippians. It’s photography from the past 100 years of High School football. In a way this is a sequel to the Frascogna’s book Gridiron Gold. While they were researching their earlier book about the rich High School football tradition in Mississippi, they came across so many great photographs that they decided to compile them into one really fun book. A great gift for husband, sons, or uncles. On Thursday evening starting at 4:00, many of the great coaches from Mississippi High School football will be here to sign.
Friday:
We’re pleased to host Dr. Roger Parrott, president of Belhaven University, for his first book signing at Lemuria. His book The Longview is a book on leadership with a long term perspective.
Saturday:
Oh! That Reminds Me: More Mississippi Homegrown Stories by Walt Grayson
Everyone around here knows Walt. He’ll be back on Saturday morning at 11:00 to sign his most recent book. And of course he’ll be happy to sign any of his DVDs as well, or just sit and talk a while. Come see Walt at 11am.
Saturday:
Oxford in the Civil War by Stephen Enzweiler
Here’s a great little book by a Mississippi native that any Ole Miss grad is going to need. Stephen will sign at 1:00 on Saturday.
Saturday:
Seems to Me by Cary Hudson
No, this isn’t a book. This falls into the “anything can happen at Lemuria” category. Cary is known for his solo work and his work with alt-country band Blue Mountain. He’ll be playing live in our Dot Com building at 4:00 to promote his brand new CD. No question that this will be a fun time. Plus there is no cover and our famous $1 beer.
