Events

Historic LoDo: Eoin Colfer is the author of the internationally best-selling Artemis Fowl series. His books have won several awards, including the British Children’s Book of the Year, the German Children’s Book of the Year, and a Betelgeusean Bloater award for shortest newcomer, which he keeps in his head as it is radioactive and scares the children. Colfer will read from and sign And Another Thing… ($25.99 Hyperion), the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth installment in the late Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone’s favorite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer, and at least one very large slab of cheese. 275 free tickets for the event will be available Monday, October 12, beginning at 9:00 am, with the purchase of And Another Thing… at any Tattered Cover location. Each ticket will admit one person to the event hall for the presentation and will reserve one numbered place in the signing line. Additional tickets for the booksigning line only will be available beginning at 6:30 pm on the day of the event. Those who do not get one of the first 275 tickets should still be able to hear Mr. Colfer, though not see his presentation. They will be able to get books signed.
