About the event
Washington State University Press will host its 33rd Annual Holiday Book Fair on Thursday, December 5, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Terrell Library Atrium on the Pullman campus. The fair highlights books published throughout the year and is open to everyone. Several authors will be available to sign copies.

Sale prices will be valid for phone and online orders using coupon code HBF2024 throughout the week, December 2-8, 2024.
Featured titles include Beyond the Wonder, a stunning travel account and meditation on nature that also offers a biological perspective on Alaska’s wonders, a discussion of tourism’s potential environmental impacts, and a collection of dynamic photographs; Celebrating Palouse Country, which travels through time among the Palouse Country’s beauty and expanse, starting with its First Peoples and moving through distinct immigrant groups—all enhanced with John Clement’s spectacular photographs; David Douglas, A Naturalist at Work, the paperback edition of a colorfully illustrated essay collection by award-winning nonfiction writer Jack Nisbet that examines various aspects of David Douglas’ career; Forest Under Siege, an examination of 100 years of Pacific Northwest forestry that reveals just how close the region’s forests came to extinction, as well as efforts to restore the damage; A Muckleshoot Poetry Anthology, a collection of works created as part of workshops held on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation; Reflecting Fifty Years, a commemoration of five decades of artistic innovation and cultural enrichment at Washington State University’s art museum; and Washington State’s Round Barns, a compilation of stories and photographs highlighting the beauty, complexity, and historical significance of these endangered rural icons. In addition, there will be a selection of new poetry titles from Lost Horse and Lynx House, two publishers now distributed by WSU Press, along with a new distributed title, Seattle Neon, a book of Matt Hucke’s photographs capturing the city’s brilliant, whimsical, outlandish, and downright spectacular signs.
