SUMMARY:Spring Symposium: The Future of Publishing with John Ingram
DESCRIPTION:CLS\, in partnership with Buxton Books\, is thrilled to announce an exclusive two-day Publishing Symposium featuring John Ingram. This lifelong learning program will dive deep into the past\, present\, and future of book publishing\, and offer a rare opportunity to engage with and learn from an industry icon whose family legacy is rivaled only by his own impressive vision for the future. \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers… (read more below) \nThere are two ticket options for this program: \nEVENING PROGRAM ONLY (Thursday\, March 2)  $30 // Admission to the discussion panel with John Ingram and Julian Buxton at 6pm. \nTWO-DAY SYMPOSIUM (Thursday\, March 2 & Friday\, March 3) – $130 // Admission to the discussion panel on Thursday March 2. \nPlus\, Admission to the extended session on Friday\, March 3\, from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm\, which will include group discussion\, analysis of the lecture topic\, and insights from additional publishing industry insiders — plus a boxed lunch. \nAbout the Event: \nThe Symposium begins Thursday evening with an up-close-and-personal discussion led by Julian Buxton. The co-founder of Buxton Books is not only a fellow publishing insider; he’s also a longtime friend of Ingram’s (they met as undergrads at Princeton)\, with a unique  perspective on the mechanics and motivations driving the industry today. (There’s also that Charleston connection\, courtesy of Ingram’s mother\, Martha Rivers Ingram\, who grew up here.) With such strong ties\, theirs is sure to be a candid and insightful exploration of Ingram’s career choices\, how those decisions fit into the shifting balance of new and old media\, and the lessons learned along the way. \nOn Friday\, we’ll tighten the circle a bit to continue the conversation with a more intimate group of attendees. Over the course of the morning\, we’ll examine the current state of publishing\, the supporting forces that comprise the publishing ecosystem today\, and the factors that will shape the next wave of innovation. \nWe’ll bust myths\, expose hidden truths\, and share on the ground insights from all corners of the publishing world—from editorial perspectives on the power of reviews and bestseller-list placements\, to the way that same data affects author tours and event destinations\, to the importance of independent bookstores and the experiential and distribution data they provide. \nAbout John Ingram: \nIngram understands the past\, present\, and future of publishing as few people can. A media pioneer who not only anticipated the advent of on-demand printing\, but also created a set of innovative software and digital infrastructure solutions to support independent authors\, audiences\, and booksellers\, Ingram built his family’s wholesale book distribution company into a revolutionary force that would ultimately transform the book publishing landscape. Labeled an “intrapreneur” for his ability to forge a unique identity through his family’s established empire—which\, in its impressive diversification\, offered many professional avenues beyond publishing—Ingram found his calling from within even as he brazenly blazed his own trail.

SUMMARY:Revealing the True Legal System of Jim Crow // Buxton Books + CLS present Margaret Burnham
DESCRIPTION:Please come join Buxton Books and CLS as we invite in Margaret Burnham\, civil rights lawyer\, to discuss with us her new book By Hands Now Known. \nTickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “By Hands Now Known” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE.\n \nBonus! Buxton Books is offering a $5 gift to all who attend the program to go towards the purchase of Burnham’s book! \nAbout Margaret A. Burnham:\nMargaret Burnham is the founding director of the Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project at Northeastern University\, and has been a staffer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, a civil rights lawyer\, a defense attorney\, and a judge. A professor of law\, she was nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the US Senate to serve on the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board. She lives in Boston\, Massachusetts. \nAbout the Book:\nBy Hands Now Known challenges our understanding of the Jim Crow era by exploring the relationship between formal law and background legal norms in a series of harrowing cases from 1920 to 1960. From rendition\, the legal process by which states make claims to other states for the return of their citizens\, to battles over state and federal jurisdiction and the outsize role of local sheriffs in enforcing racial hierarchy\, Burnham maps the criminal legal system in the mid-twentieth-century South\, and traces the unremitting line from slavery to the legal structures of this period\, through to today. \nDrawing on an extensive database\, collected over more than a decade and exceeding 1\,000 cases of racial violence\, she reveals the true legal system of Jim Crow\, and captures the memories of those whose stories have not yet been heard.

SUMMARY:An understanding about "Curtis LeMay\, the Firebombing of Tokyo\, and the Road to the Atomic Bomb"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us\, in partnership with Buxton Books\, in welcoming our very own local 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist and author\, James Scott\, as he shares with us the first ever published in English Air Force archives and oral histories through the pages of Black Snow: Curtis LeMay\, the Firebombing of Tokyo\, and the Road to the Atomic Bomb. \nTickets are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nDrawing on first-person interviews with American pilots\, bombardiers and Japanese survivors\, after the most destructive air attack in history\, Scott delivers a harrowing and gripping account of the night when nearly 300 American B-29s thundered into the skies over Tokyo on March 9-10\, 1945. \nBlack Snow is the story of the devastating operation – in which killed more than 100\,000 men\, women\, and children – that was orchestrated by Major General Curtis LeMay\, who famously remarked: “If we lose the war\, we’ll be tried as war criminals.” James M. Scott reconstructs in granular detail that horrific night\, and describes the development of the B-29\, the capture of the Marianas for use as airfields\, and the change in strategy from high-altitude daylight “precision” bombing to low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing. Most importantly\, the raid represented a significant moral shift for America\, marking the first time commanders deliberately targeted civilians which helped pave the way for the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki five months later. \nAbout James M. Scott:\nA former Nieman Fellow at Harvard\, James M. Scott is the author of Rampage\, which was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the editors at Amazon\, Kirkus\, and Military Times and was chosen as a finalist for the prestigious Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History by the New York Historical Society. His other works include Target Tokyo\, a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist\, The War Below\, and The Attack on the Liberty\, which won the Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison Award. Scott lives with his wife and two children in Mt. Pleasant\, SC. \nBuxton Book is offering $5 off Black Snow book sales at the event.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Xavier Salomon
DESCRIPTION:The Library Society is delighted to welcome Xavier Salomon for what is sure to be a riveting discussion about his experience as the Frick Collection’s Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. For this program\, Salomon will focus on artist Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757)\, who was the most celebrated woman artist in eighteenth-century Europe. She worked in the inherently fragile medium of pastel and was always concerned for the well-being of her creations. The recent discovery of a sacred image placed by Rosalba in one of her pastels has led to discovery of a number of similar prints. We will follow in Rosalba’s footsteps\, from her house in Venice to the European courts for which her pastels were destined. Tickets for this in-person event are $10 for CLS members and $15 for guests\, and can be purchased with the link below or by calling 843-723-9912. \nThis event is in-person and ticketed – To purchase tickets\, click here. \nPlease Note: We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and greatly value the safety of our patrons. All events require masks for entry and are subject to change from in-person to Zoom format if safety protocols need to be amended. To stay up to date on this event’s details\, we recommend you check this page regularly. All ticket sales are final. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSalomon is the Frick’s Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. A noted scholar of Paolo Veronese\, he curated the monographic exhibition on the artist at the National Gallery\, London (2014). Previously\, Salomon was Curator in the Department of European Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and\, before that\, the Arturo and Holly Melosi Chief Curator at Dulwich Picture Gallery\, where he curated Van Dyck in Sicily\, 1624–25: Painting and the Plague (2012) and collaborated with Nicholas Cullinan on Twombly and Poussin: Arcadian Painters (2011). As an Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow at the Frick (2004–6)\, he curated Veronese’s Allegories: Virtue\, Love\, and Exploration in Renaissance Venice (2006).

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Brad Taylor
DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Library Society and Buxton Books proudly welcome a best-selling mega author\, and Charleston local\, to come speak in the beautiful Main Reading Room at 164 King Street. Taylor will be discussing his most recent release in the Pike Logan series\, End of Days. \nTickets for this event are $15 (which includes a $5 off coupon) or $35 for admittance and signed book-included package. \nTo purchase tickets for this event\, click here or call 843-723-9912.  \nTo purchase a signed copy of End of Days\, click here! \nAbout the Book: \nPike Logan must stop a deranged killer hell-bent on igniting an international conflagration in this explosive\, action-packed thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer\, Brad Taylor. \nWhen a paragliding trip over the picturesque mountains of Switzerland results in the brutal murder of the former head of Israeli intelligence\, Mossad brings in terrorist hunters Aaron and Shoshana to investigate. But they’ll need help to find out who was behind the attack and what they’re planning next. Luckily\, Aaron and Shoshana know exactly who to call. \nTaskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill have been trapped in Charleston\, South Carolina during COVID-19\, so when Aaron and Shoshana show up on their doorstep with Israeli passports and a new mission\, they jump at the chance to assist their friends. Some suspect that Keta’ib Hezbollah\, an Iranian-funded militia group operating in Iraq\, might be responsible for the “accidental” deaths of key members of the American and Israeli governments. But something isn’t adding up\, and Pike\, Jennifer\, and the two Mossad operators are determined to find the real assassins before more people are cut down. \nAs they stumble upon the trail of a serial killer loose on the streets of Rome connected to the deaths and follow evidence leading to the exalted Knights of Malta\, they must wade deep into the contentious religious and political fractures of Israel and the greater Middle East. It’s a dangerous world where fanatics and legitimate organizations exist side by side\, and it’s up to the Taskforce to determine who is really pulling the strings. What they find could have disastrous consequences not only for them\, but for the entire world… \nAbout Brad: \nBrad Taylor was born on Okinawa\, Japan\, but grew up on 40-acres in rural Texas. Graduating from the University of Texas\, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Infantry. Brad served for more than 21 years\, retiring as a Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel. During that time he held numerous Infantry and Special Forces positions\, including eight years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta where he commanded multiple troops and a squadron. He has conducted operations in support of US national interests in Iraq\, Afghanistan\, and other classified locations. \nHis final assignment was as the Assistant Professor of Military Science at The Citadel in Charleston\, SC. He holds a Master’s of Science in Defense Analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School\, with a concentration in Irregular Warfare. In 2011\, Brad published his debut novel\, One Rough Man\, which was an immediate success and launched the Pike Logan series. Now with more than 14 installments and nearly 3 million copies sold\, the series has consistently hit the New York Times bestseller list. When not writing\, he serves as a security consultant on asymmetric threats for various agencies. He lives in Charleston\, SC with his wife and two daughters.
