Brooklyn Book Festival Official Site

Glad to see this on CSpan this weekend.

Engaging intellectual nourishment after a draining week of lecture, work, and midterms... a big THANK YOU from a busy Rutgers University senior!!!

i took my girls, they had a great time and we bought 4 books and two tote bags. We had a wonderful time.

It was my very first time vending and i sold out!!! so yea it's worth the effort and the fee to participate....checkout my pics from the festival on www.dredlockstree.blogspot.com

Great time, my first, definitely not my last!

great event. need more independents like thefictionist.

The panel tribute to Norman Mailer was very moving. Thank you.

Ooh, I can see myself in the photo. Jonathan Ames was a riot. And hearing Russell Banks, Francine Prose and Paul Auster read was a wonderful treat.

Did anyone catch the name or title of the book that Mary Gaitskill recommended? I heard Pamuk, but there was a second author (I think a Japanese woman?) she mentioned, and now I can't read what I wrote down... Please send me a note if you can help.

Don't just go by this guy's photos. there were also numerous Black writers who showcased their books, inlcuding myself. fortunately, photographer ocean morisset was there to give another perspective on the festival....open your mind, man. it's not all about y'all anymore!!!

"Ankle Soup" and "Custard and Mustard" featuring Carlos the French Bulldog will be there! We are reading at 11am in the Target Children's Area. Come say hello. www.anklesoup.com

I'm excited to be at the festival this year. Please stop by my booth - KIBA KIBA BOOKS (www.kibakiba.com) - to see amazing children's artwork and my latest release "The Dream of the New Earth." On twitter @kibakiba - See you soon!

I think this will be my third Brooklyn Book Festival. I can't wait!

I discovered Chris Abani's incredible novella Becoming Abigail at a past Festival.

Looking forward to it... Cee should i get you a space...

I am planning to attend for the first time. I know nothing about Brooklyn and will be coming from CT. Is there parking anywhere?

Parking is extremely limited. There are paid garages in the area, but they may fill quickly as well.

guess i'll have to check out a map cuz i don't know which street is which. me, i don't mind walking several blocks, but the friend i wil be with isn't able to walk nearly that far. so if something is like 2blocks away we might be able to make it.
i'm freezing water bottles and have to figure something i can pack to eat...sometimes i just want something more than a peanut butter sandwich;)

ok, 1 block is on the same intersection st, Montague St is Mexican Chiqulte Grill, Natori (Japanese) up a few steps, downstairs Lichee Nut (chinese) a few more steps is Monty's (italian) all are sit down and not far. If you want to go cheap and healthy go for Garden of Eden at the end of the deli counter is hot meal/meat and 2 sides from $5.99-8.... See More99 a full meal that you may want to share and p/u a dessert. this is a market so no seating. i buy a 1/2 chicken & 2 sides for $5.99 and that's 2 lunches for me. Garden's drinks are expensive so get something to drink from Duane Reade or Rite Aid which are all close by. On Court St One Way Deli have lunch specials that's posted on their door but no seating. that's the closest bargains.

I cannot wait!

Oh no! It's the same day as Broadway on Broadway!

This is one of my favorite summer festivals!! Always live and direct!
