Historic LoDo: David Sibley, the preeminent bird-guide author and illustrator, will discuss and sign his new book The Sibley Guide to Trees ($39.95 Knopf). Monumental in scope but small enough to take into the field, this book is an astonishingly elegant guide to a complex subject. It condenses a huge amount of information about tree identification—more than has ever been collected in a single book—into a logical, accessible, easy-to-use format. With more than 4,100 meticulous, exquisitely detailed paintings, the guide highlights the often subtle similarities and distinctions between more than 600 tree species—native trees as well as many introduced species. No other guide has ever made field identification so clear. Visit David Sibley’s website Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com

Highlands Ranch: Hollywood film developer Stephen Schwartz will read from and sign his debut novel Boulevard ($24.99 Forge). Boulevard is a “…terrific police thriller. It’s fast-paced and convincingly told. The streets of L.A. have never been meaner or seamier. Schwartz is gifted with clear vision and a knowing heart and a way with words. Wonderful.” —T.
