In 2008, In the Heights, a new musical from up-and-coming young artists, electrified Broadway. The show’s vibrant mix of Latin music and hip-hop captured life in Washington Heights, the Latino neighborhood in upper Manhattan. It won four Tony Awards and became an international hit, delighting audiences around the world. For the film version, director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) brought the story home, filming its spectacular dance numbers on location in Washington Heights. That’s where Usnavi, Nina, and their neighbors chase their dreams and ask a universal question: Where do I belong?
In the Heights: Finding Home reunites Miranda with Jeremy McCarter, co-author of Hamilton: The Revolution, and Quiara Alegría Hudes, the Pulitzer Prize–winning librettist of the Broadway musical and screenwriter of the film. They do more than trace the making of an unlikely Broadway smash and a major motion picture: They give readers an intimate look at the decades-long creative life of In the Heights. Like Hamilton: The Revolution, the book offers untold stories, perceptive essays, and the lyrics to Miranda’s songs—complete with his funny, heartfelt annotations. It also features newly commissioned portraits and never-before-seen photos from backstage, the movie set, and productions around the world. Tickets are on sale now! Each ticket includes a copy of In the Heights, the link to the Zoom virtual event, and the opportunity to have your question or questions forwarded to Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alagria Hudes, or Jeremy McCarter. This event will be moderated by America Ferrera. More information about, and tickets for, this terrific virtual event can be found on Eventbrite at www.eventbrite.com/e/lin-manuel-miranda-guests-in-the-heights-virtual-book-launch-event-tickets-154256552501 (please copy and paste if the link does not take you directly - Thanks!) |
Where can you find a chunk of the Matterhorn enshrined at a Utah ski resort? What is the origin of Josepa, the Hawaiian ghost town in the desert? And why is Utah called the Beehive State? You hold in your hands the answers to these questions and more in this guide to the oddities, wonders, myths, and legends of Utah’s capital city. Secret Salt Lake City opens a window into the weird, the bizarre, and the obscure secrets of the city, some of which are hiding in plain sight.
Founded by religious pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1847, its one-of-a-kind origin story makes Salt Lake City a rich backdrop for frontier grit, culture, and curious relics. Did you know that there is an alphabet hidden in your computer that was invented in Salt Lake City? What is the significance of the religious symbols on the Salt Lake Temple? And how did Sherlock Holmes solve a fictional mystery in London that originated in Utah? Lifetime resident and author Jeremy Pugh and Mary Brown Malouf unlock these mysteries and more to pull back the curtain on the secrets of Salt Lake City. This isn’t your traditional guidebook, and it will enrich your visit to the Crossroads of the West. Jeremy Pugh is a writer living in Salt Lake City who, in one way or another, has been writing about culture, history and the outdoors in Salt Lake City for more than a decade. Formerly the editor of Salt Lake magazine, Pugh is a freelancer and consultant writing for SKI, Sunset and Salt Lake magazines. A lifelong Utahn, Jeremy travels widely but always loves returning home to the mountains where he bikes, hikes and skis as much as is humanly possible. Join us for an evening of engaging Utah stories with Jeremy Pugh. The reading and Q&A will be held in front of The Printed Garden under our overhang. We'll have copies of Jeremy's book for sale, and the store is open, but will be limiting the number of people indoors at any given time. This even will begin at 7:00 p.m. |

Even as we move out of the busy holiday shopping season, and slow down a bit, we are, as a matter of survival, still operated by a single staff member. If you try calling during the hours above, but no one answers, we're simply working with someone who's in the store or on the other line. Please wait ten minutes and try again. We strive to give experienced and personal attention to everyone who visits us.
