From their website:

Bookseller Roxanne Coady marked the birthday of R.J. Julia, her Madison, Connecticut bookstore, by asking noted writers and readers to write about the first book that opened their eyes and changed their world. The result is an exultant collection of 71 musings from readers ranging from Harold Bloom to Billy Collins to Joe Lieberman and many others. Now Coady and her co-writers are bringing this celebration of books to independent bookstores across the country. Proceeds from the book support Read to Grow, a nonprofit literacy organization that provides books to newborns. Join us at McNally Robinson for an evening celebrating literary community and the joys and discoveries of reading.
