This weekend, the University of Texas Press and 15 of our authors will enjoy the 18th annual Texas Book Festival on the Capitol grounds in downtown Austin and environs. We'll have a booth on Colorado Street (Exhibitor Tent #4) with tons of titles for sale at a great discount. There are a lot of great authors in attendance (R.L. Stine just in time for Halloween!), so we’ve distilled our authors' appearances into a single UT Press schedule:

The Salt Lick Cookbook with Scott Roberts
