It’s time. More accurately, it’s almost time. Iconic Restaurants of St. Louis will be released November 2, two weeks from today.
To my immense delight, none of the restaurants in there have, the last time I checked, succumbed to the COVID virus. Many of them are small, nearly all are family-owned, and those are the ones at highest risk.
It’ll be in independent bookstores first. It turns out that the big chains buy the books but they sit in warehouses until they get shelved, which is not, unless you’re a major author with a major publisher, the day of release. So it may be a little while before it’s at Barnes and Noble. (Feel free to persistently ask them about it.) Yes, it will be on Amazon.
I also have them for sale myself, and will be happy to sign and personalize them and drop them off at a mutually agreeable location, wearing a mask. (Hey, once a nurse, always a nurse.) It turns out they make nice gifts for clients and customers. I also have some copies of 2018’s Lost Restaurants of St. Louis, and if you don’t have that, or your gift recipient doesn’t, we can add it in at a discounted price.
There’s a socially distanced kickoff party and signing at the Novel Neighbor, 7905 Big Bend, on Thursday, November 5. Lots of talk about food and St. Louis restaurants! Please consider this an invitation to join us.
