Taking it offline: Jane events in Seattle, part 1

Dear Friends,

As devoted Janeites, we would hate for anyone to miss the opportunity to meet and chat about her novels with the only other people who can understand our passion for the subject--fellow Janeites. That's why you visit us online, no? Next week, we have an opportunity to meet in person! Please join us at the Alderwood Barnes & Noble for a special night:

An Evening with Jane

Alderwood Barnes & Noble

Thursday, February 7, at 7:00 p.m.

Friend of PBS and KCTS 9 Laurel Ann will be hosting an Evening with Jane at the Alderwood B&N. The night will begin with a short introduction to Jane Austen, the inspiration for our series, The Complete Jane Austen, as well as other "prequels, sequels and Austen-inspired publications," says Laurel Ann. And we will not shy away from the Janeite's favorite activity: Discussing the history of Jane Austen adaptations, including interpretations of her novels, casting and highlights--and the history of her original book publications.

Questions and discussion by the attendees will be encouraged. Laurel Ann and hosts will be serving complimentary tea and scones, sending guests home with gift packs, and offering a drawing for books and posters.

RSVPs to Kari Yadro, Community Relations Manager are encouraged. You may phone in your reservation to her at 425.771.3193 or send her an e-mail at crm2888@bn.com.

Yours most sincerely,
