MARCH: BOOK ONE summer signings, TV appearances, and presidential blurbage!

I'm pleased to announce we scored the first ever presidential endorsement for a graphic novel!

"Congressman John Lewis has been a resounding moral voice in the quest for equality for more than 50 years, and I'm so pleased that he is sharing his memories of the Civil Rights Movement with America's young leaders. In March, he brings a whole new generation with him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, from a past of clenched fists into a future of outstretched hands."
— President Bill Clinton

Top Shelf has just released a ton of info surrounding the release of March: Book One on August 13th, including TV appearances on The Colbert Report , CNN's State Of The Union with Candy Crowley, and Huffington Post Live , as well as the first wave of summer signings/ presentations, starting this weekend at Book Expo America in New York City!
