The Texas Book Festival was established in 1995 by First Lady Laura Bush, an ardent advocate of literacy, to honor Texas authors, promote the joys of reading and benefit the state's public libraries. Each fall, fans of literature, reading, and books will find more than 190 of the nation's most accomplished and beloved writers at the Texas State Capitol for the annual Texas Book Festival.
From novels and nonfiction to cookbooks and Kid Lit, the 2008 Festival promises a high-quality program offering a diversity of ideas designed to entertain, inform and provoke. From T. Boone Pickens to Babar creator Laurent de Brunhoff, the Festival, which is free and open to the public, offers a wealth of vibrant programming. [website...]
