On Saturday, April 11, the University of Texas Press and 8 of our authors will enjoy the 3rd annual San Antonio Book Festival at the Central Library and environs in downtown San Antonio. We'll have a booth in the Exhibitor Tent with tons of titles for sale at a great discount. There are a lot of great authors in attendance (Maureen Corrigan! Neal Pollack! Luis Alberto Urrea!), so we’ve distilled our authors' appearances into a single UT Press schedule.Get The SABF App For Your Smart Phone.
