Another reminder: make plans to attend my book signing of “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range” at the Village Bookstore in Grand Rapids Saturday, Dec. 20, from 2-4 p.m.
“Overburden” makes an excellent Christmas gift for any Iron Ranger, but especially Iron Rangers who grew up here during the turbulent 1980s and ’90s and found the declining population and economy to be the backdrop of a unique upbringing. As I’ve been saying, the book is for Iron Rangers, former Iron Rangers, future Iron Rangers and those mystified by the Range. Also, it’s funny and getting strong notices. I hate sounding like a shyster but the book (published by Red Step Press of Duluth) pays for this blog, so show some respect.
Signed copies are currently available at the aforementioned Village Bookstore, the Howard Street Booksellers in Hibbing and Lisa’s Upstairs Bookstore in Ely. We just sold out at Woodward’s in Virginia, but will be restocking this weekend. It’s also available online at Barnes and Noble and in most Duluth bookstores along with several Barnes and Noble locations across Minnesota. Any place that sells books can order it. If you should see me on the streets of an Iron Range town I will sell you a signed copy out of my car. I am a full service shyster.
