Cleveland About.com guide Sandy Mitchell’s book is out, Cleveland’s Little Italy


I really like Sandy and her work and am pleased to post her announcement about her new book (disclosure: I’ve written for her a few times):

Hi Friends!

Allow me to be a little self-indulgent this morning. My first book, “Cleveland’s Little Italy,” is coming out on Monday and I’m giddy like a new parent.

Part of Arcadia Publishing’s “Images of America” series, the 128-page, softcover book tells the story of one of the city’s most interesting neighborhoods from its beginnings as a community of immigrant artisans to its renaissance in the late 20th century as an artist colony and tourist center. The book features more than 180 mostly historic photos from the (now-closed) Little Italy Historical Museum, the Cleveland Public Library, CSU’s Cleveland Press Collection, and a few private sources.

I’ll be doing promotions and book signings at a number of local booksellers this summer. Everyone is welcome (even if you’re not in the market for a copy of the book).

Scheduled so far are:
June 28 – Loganberry Books Local Author Book Fair (Larchmere Blvd) – 11am to 5pm
July 26 – Barnes and Noble at Great Lakes Mall in Mentor – 1pm
July 31 – Mac’s Backs in Cleveland Heights – 7pm

“Cleveland’s Little Italy” is available via Amazon.com and Cleveland area bookstores. You can also purchase an autographed copy (with free shipping) via my Web site, www.writedestination.com.

Thanks for sharing in my excitement.

Best,
Sandy

    Yes as a matter of fact I already have two friends I want to buy the book for (I tried typing this sentence three times and can’t make it grammatically correct LOL)
