Once again, we launch Coast to Coast a couple of days early so you won't miss some opening nights this Thursday. Better still, BookSightings joins the party for the same reason: Richard Misrach, Pieter Hugo, and Frederic Roberts will be signing their new books at openings in New York and LA this week. Christopher Rauschenberg, Jenny Okun and Alicia Jackson will also launch their new titles at upcoming gallery events. And powerHouse Arena will host its annual holiday book extravaganza on December 5^th, with powerHouse, Magnum, and Stern photographers on hand. Stay tuned for more book news between now and the holidays, and as always, please check links for details.
