Grammar Girl Book Signing in San Francisco July 24, 2008
San Francisco, California 94102
IMPORTANT UPDATE 6/25--The book signing has moved to San Francisco. I hope everyone who signed up for the Berkeley event can make it to the other side of the bay! I'm thrilled that Books, Inc. is the new venue; it is where I first saw my audiobook in a store. - Mignon
Grammar Girl will read from her new book, answer all your questions, and give away prizes.

Online sensation Grammar Girl makes grammar fun and easy in her print debut
Are you stumped by split infinitives? Terrified of using “who” when a “whom” is called for? Do you avoid the words “lay” and “lie” altogether?
Grammar Girl is here to help!
Mignon Fogarty, a.k.a. Grammar Girl, is determined to wipe out bad grammar—but she’s also determined to make the process as painless as possible. One year ago, she created a weekly podcast to tackle some of the most common mistakes people make while communicating. The podcasts have now been downloaded more than thirteen million times, and Mignon has dispensed grammar tips on Oprah and appeared on the pages of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
Written with the wit, warmth, and accessibility that the podcasts are known for, Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing covers the grammar rules and word-choice guidelines that can confound even the best writers. From “between vs. among” and “although vs. while” to comma splices and misplaced modifiers, Mignon offers memory tricks and clear explanations that will help readers recall and apply those troublesome grammar rules. Chock-full of tips on style, business writing, and effective e-mailing, Grammar Girl’s print debut deserves a spot on every communicator’s desk.

If you're coming out here, I want to know! Try for the peninsula --we're too old and pooped to drive to the East Bay (ha, ha).

Please consider Book Passage in Marin (Corte Madera).

Wait! I thought that Cody's just opened. I didn't even notice it was there until this week.
And the Barnes & Noble that used to be just down the street has also closed. But Pegasus on Shattuck is still open.
Note that parking in that part of Berkeley (in most parts of Berkeley) is lousy.
Himself and I will be there if we can, but might have to be somewhere else.
