ART OF THE BOOK - The Festival
 Main Street at Alvarado Street
(Festival grounds behind the Art Center)
Sunday  11- 4

Presented by the Fallbrook Friends of the Library
& the Fallbrook Art Association,
the event offers a stimulating, fun-filled afternoon
of books, art, music & cuisine

The heart of the Festival will be the sale of rare, collectible and 1st edition books
by Friends of the Library groups from throughout San Diego County
and the Temecula Valley. Sales of these treasured books
will raise funds for their respective libraries

Descanso, Encinitas, Escondido, Fletcher Hills, Lakeside, Murrieta,
Oceanside, Poway, Ramona, Rancho Santa Fe, Temecula and Vista
An enticing highlight of the Festival will be a silent auction of books
with special appeal to collectors. Each participating Friends of The Library group
will display 3 books for auction. This exclusive segment of the day offers rare book lovers
the unique opportunity to take home extraordinary books for a reasonable fare

In addition, the multi-talented artists of the Fallbrook Art Association
will offer for sale their latest works. The creations of this group of
regionally renowned artists can be seen displayed throughout Southern California
art venues. As with their  tremendously successful exhibits at Fallbrook's April event:
Art Of The Flower - The Festival, the artists will again present their irresistible work

Live acoustic music will fill the air,
courtesy of Dennis David - keyboards - and Frank Alves - guitar -
as festival-goers stroll the grounds between the Art Center At Fallbrook
and the Fallbrook Library, taking in demonstrations ranging from bookbinding,
to painting, to ceramics, to book signings by published authors, to writers workshops

Authors signing and selling their books at the Festival include:

Writers workshops will be taught by 2 North County writing instructors,
- from Palomar College & Mira Costa College -
leading a series of adult and children's workshops entitled,
"All-True Terrifying and Illicit Secrets of How to Think and Behave Like a Writer"
(for adults) and "Creative Writing For Kids!" (for the younger set)

The workshops will be hosted by the Fallbrook Gem & Mineral Society,
across Alvarado Street from the Festival grounds
