Who knew that there were so many books written about Greater Buffalo? Actually, this is just a handful of the many books currently being published, and there are even more that are not being circulated (such as Steve Powell’s Rushing The Growler). It would be great to see a comprehensive list put together someday – to be able to find all of the great books under one roof, with all of the authors there to do book-signings. In the meantime, the History Museum hosts, each holiday season, hosts a local author book-signing on Saturday, Nov. 27 from noon to 2 pm. Here’s the list:
