Barnes and Noble Signing

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of attending the book signing of my dear friend and former publisher, Mark A. Stevens, at Barnes and Noble. The best part was definintely watching as people asked him to sign their copies of Unicoi County: Then and Now, and of course, asking him to sign my own copy. While I am not a huge Unicoi County history buff, I very much enjoyed the book, which captures the history of the county through old and new photographs. Having lived and worked in Unicoi County during my time at The Erwin Record, I know many of the places and faces caputured in this book, and it was very interesting to see how the county looks now when compared to the past. Mark, along with his staff, has proven time and again that hard work pays off, and his book is no exception. Rather it is yet another demonstration of his awe-inspiring talent. I wish Mark much success in the future and will eagerly await his next book.
