Shelf Awareness
Author, world traveler and Monty Python legend Michael Palin will promote the latest volume of his diaries, Travelling to Work: Diaries 1988-1998, with his first one-man tour across England. The Bookseller reported that at "each of the 21 venues of the tour, a local bookshop will be selling signed copies of Palin's books in the foyer of the theatre." Travelling to Work will be released in September. "The link up is to give them [local bookshops] a little more coverage and visibility," Palin said. "I think there is something that the bookshop represents which is the heart of community life. Bookshops are a way of bringing people together. There is a feeling when you go into one, an idea that this is a good place to be. People talk to each other more. They take their time. I love bookshops because they allow you to browse much more easily than online. I love physical books, the look, the color."
