The reviews and interviews below run in conjunction with perhaps the finest pound-for-pound Texas Book Festival in its history. Even finer? Author events are almost exclusively free and open to the public, and the majority take place in or around the centrally located state Capitol (11th & Congress). For more information – including the full schedule – see www.texasbookfestival.org. For more of our 2006 Texas Book Festival preview, see the Food section.
