The Library Shop is thrilled to once again partner with Adventures By The Book for another world class author event at the San Diego Central Library @ Joan Ʌ Irwin Jacobs Common! This time Adventures By The Book is bringing Steven Pinker, New York Times bestselling author of The Blank Slate and How the Mind Works.

Mr. Pinker will be presenting from his latest book, Enlightenment Now (A book Bill Gates describes as "My new favorite book of all time.") which will be released in paperback two days before our event. Following the presentation there will be a book signing. THIS IS A TICKETED EVENT. Tickets are $27 per person (price with sales tax) and include a signed copy of the paperback edition of Enlightenment Now. Additional books will be available for purchase for the signing, but only books purchased from Adventures By The Book or The Library Shop will be allowed in the signing line.
