Texas Book Festival
Every year the Texas Book Festival is held in Austin, with many of the events occuring in or around the capitol building.
There were tons of tents with books on display, and authors on hand to sign their books.
We went to see 4 political authors discuss the upcoming election in the state senate chamber. The calendar shows you when various authors are speaking or debating.

intellectual property
The bookstore "intellectual property," in the strip of stores across from UT, lures you inside with the artwork all over the outside of the store.
I mean come on, Johnny Cash and the Virgin Mary? How can you not want to take a peek inside?
It's a big bookstore with a bunch of different sections. It's pretty much impossible to buy a book from a regularly priced bookstore when you're aware of the existence of Half Price Books, but it's still fun to browse around in a silly list price bookstore.
High ceilings, quotes written on a skinny strip of blackboard above the windows.
