Events at Pagination Book Shop

Pagination Bookshop loves to bring in writers for events celebrating book launches. Typically, the author reads from the book, and Pagination events feature a healthy dose of Q&A and conversation, which gives them an intimate vibe. It’s also a chance to get an autographed copy of a book—a great way to level up your birthday and holiday gifts. And if you miss the event, never fear: Pagination keeps autographed copies in stock all year round.
