Event Details

​​Booksmith welcomes Michael Hearst back to the store in celebration of his new book, Curious Constructions. If you’re curious about constructions, or simply love beautiful books, please join them.

In the latest in the Uncomon Compendium series, you’ll come face-to-face with 50 incredible structures, including: a fire-breathing octopus sculpture; the skateboard ramp you’d need to jump the Great Wall of China; a whole community of tree houses in Costa Rica; and a lifesize X-Wing Starfighter built of Legos. These and many more fascinating accounts of constructions both fantastically useful and gloriously unnecessary await inquisitive readers, aspiring engineers, and anyone who ever looked at a skyscraper and thought, “Yeah, but what if it had a roller coaster on top?”

Free, an RSVP is appreciated.
