Celebs Line Up for Book Fair

You can meet a controversial atheist, get the inside scoop about covering news in some of the most dangerous places in the world or see “that guy” from “Sex in the City” all in one place.

The 14th Annual 2008 San Diego Jewish Book Fair begins October 31 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center.

Organizers do a great job every year of bringing in celebrity authors to talk about a whole host of topics including politics, fiction, bible, history, Holocaust, family and women’s issues.
