August 9th
Beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday the 9th, following the last day of preview, all bidders and their respective guests are invited to join us at the Royal Theater (just next to Booked Up #4 in Archer City). There will be great Texas BBQ and drinks for all. Tables and seating will be provided, and this will be a great meet-and-greet time for all those in attendance. Texas BBQ is hard to resist, and when it is free to you, then it is even harder to resist! This will be a great opportunity for bidders to meet new fellow bibliophiles and catch up with old friends from the book trade. Larry McMurtry will be there as well, and it will be a great evening.
Around 6:30, we will begin the screening of the movie The Last Picture Show -- the film shot in Archer City and based upon McMurtry's novel. What could be better than watching scenes from the Royal Theater while in the Royal Theater? This will be a unique experience for all, and we're very excited to invite you to attend!
