Thursday March 8th, 2012, 7 p.m.

Historian, writer, and collector, Richard Johnson took over a year and a half, and forty years of passion and Fenway trips to create this ultimate collector's piece. One hundred years worth of ticket stubs, historical tidbits and playbills make this volume great. Join us for a night of trivia and questions about the oddities of Fenway Park.

The definitive, illustrated history of Fenway Park, this comprehensive volume captures the momentous occasions of America's most beloved ballpark. Featuring posters, ticket stubs, and fan memorabilia, this history contains firsthand accounts of the many baseball and nonbaseball events that have helped characterize the park since the days of Tris Speaker and Babe Ruth. The book celebrates the teams, the fans, and the quirks of Fenway Park for its centennial in 2012.

Howard Frank Mosher, a beloved American novelist and winner of the 2011 New England Independent Booksellers Association's President's Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts, returns with a memoir that is both a chronicle of his recent 100-city book tour across America and a reflection on his development as a writer. Mr. Mosher will be at Gibson's Bookstore for a reading and signing on Thursday April 19th, 2012, at 7 p.m. Enjoy this slideshow, from his cross-country trip.

What kind of sidelines/gift items would you like to see at Gibson's? Plus upcoming author events. May 9th, 2012
A lot of bookstores look more like gift shops now. Gibson's will never go very far in that direction, but it's true we could do a LOT MORE with non-book items. 
What would you like to see us add when we move into a larger space next year? A broader line of greeting cards? More funny gift items? (We know where to get The Funny, and it isn't well represented downtown.)  Should we have a serious stationery section--elegant (but not too expensive) paper and writing materials? How about educational materials, toys, games, more stuff for kids?
We'll have room for a lot of new lines. Please let us know what you think--what directions you'd like to see our non-book inventory move in--what products you'd love to see downtown. Email me with your thoughts. Thank you!
