The Bookcase is pleased to welcome retired Wayzata High School English teacher Philip A. Fraser to our store on Sunday, March 7 at 2:00.

Mr. Fraser recently published his memoir, and will be on hand that day to do a short reading, answer questions, and sign copies of the book.

As a member of what's known as the greatest generation, Philip A. Fraser served in World War II for more than three years. After rigorous training in Australia, his Army unit, the 32nd Infantry Division, moved into combat in New Guinea, where Fraser worked as a radio relay. When his service ended in 1945, Fraser returned to his home state of Wisconsin. Here he met his wife Marion and attended college, studying English education. A dedicated soldier, teacher, and family man, Phil Fraser shares the laughs and lessons of his life.

Gear West & The Bookcase welcome Christopher McDougall

 

Born to RunGear West and The Bookcase are pleased to welcome Christopher McDougall, author of the bestselling book Born to Run.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 in the evening at Gear West in Long Lake (1786 West Wayzata Boulevard).

McDougall traveled to Mexico's Copper Canyon to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, the Tarahumara have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest. How do they do it? That's exactly what McDougall wanted to know.

Part cultural anthropology mixed with personal memoir and the history of running,Born to Run is "hilariously funny, weird, and nonstop fun to read. Runners can sink their teeth into it," says Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and is now a contributing editor for Men's Health. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he has written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine,Outside, Men's Journal, and New York. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. 

Tickets are $5.00, and are available at either Gear West or The Bookcase. 

This is an event that you won't want to miss!
