As most of you have seen covered on the news and in the papers, the 100 mile radius around our store in the heart of Tennessee received over 15 inches of rain in a 36 hour period not two weeks ago. I recently read that this flooding was a once in a 1,000 year event...

On May 1st, 2010, Leiper's Creek Gallery (just up the street from us) is playing host to an amazing celebration of the guitar. 'Guitarfest' is the culmination of years of collecting and will feature live music as well as a tremendous display of a few amazing vintage guitars.

Have I mentioned that I am SUPER THRILLED about the upcoming Tennessee Antiquarian Book Fair in Cowan, TN? This upcoming event represents the rekindling of rare and collectable books in my home, the Volunteer state.

During a recent trip to Williamsburg, VA, I was able to tour Colonial Williamsburg for the first time. It was an extremely enjoyable experience.

As most of you know, the annual St. Petersburg Antiquarain Book Fair was this past weekend and we at Yeoman's were on hand with a special selection of our finest rare books and documents. This show in St. Pete continues to prove itself as a great weekend as well as THE best show of the year for us. Sarah and the gang at Lighthouse Books do a fabulous job and did not disappoint this year.

I recently ran across an interesting article about a new book by Stephen Mansfield. The book is called The Search for God and Guinness: A Biography of the Beer that Changed the World.

This charming look inside the farther reaches of the storyteller's mind is undoubtedly one of the most under-appreciated books to come out of Nashville in years. You've got original stories (and some pretty darn good ones) by a few legends in this town - Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall, Charlie Daniels, Robbie Fulks and Hal Ketchum to name a few. The book features a foreword by Vince Gill and touts endorsements from Bill Anderson and B.B. King!

Bill Potter speaks about the sacrifices of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Benjamin Franklin is a great representative of all that we try to do at Yeoman’s.

The Southern Festival of Books hits the Tennessee Capitol area this weekend. Every year, dozens of authors, speakers, fans, booksellers and publishers descend upon downtown Nashville to show their wares and take the necessary steps to keep the literary world alive and active.
