We see presidents around our Capitol Hill from time to time. Another will be here at the end of the month for a special appearance at Elliott Bay Book Company.
The Elliott Bay Company will host a SPECIAL INSTORE BOOK-SIGNING by President Jimmy Carter on Monday, March 31 at 12 noon.
President Carter will be signing copies of his new book, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence and Power.
Tickets to join the signing line for the event will be given out with a purchase of A Call to Action from the Elliott Bay Book Company. The book goes on sale Tuesday, March 25 and advance purchases may be made online, at the bookstore, or by calling 206-624-6600. This Book-Signing is President Carter’s only Seattle appearance. Due to time constraints we will not be able to accommodate personalized book requests or posed pictures. We will open at 10 a.m. Please call the store at (206) 624-6600 with any questions.
You can read an excerpt of the new book here. These righties call it a “a tome of women’s rights.”
In 1980 when Carter lost the presidency to Ronald Reagan, Pioneer Square-born Elliott Bay was already eight years old.
The former president celebrates his 90th birthday later this year.
Really? We’re one of the hottest neighborhoods in Seattle and the best we can do is Jimmy Carter? At least let’s get Bill and Hillary or something. Or maybe Mitch McConnell so we can trap him and add him to the turtle exhibit at Woodland Park Zoo.
A mediocre president but an awesome ex-president. Happy 90th Jimmy!
