The Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor, which Jenny Puvogel acquired last year, will celebrate its 40th birthday with an author signing on Saturday, June 28, from 5-7 pm. “We will have several local authors signing books under the tent outside—some new books, some older books­—and some light refreshments,” said Puvogel. The author lineup includes: Sue Boucher (Sleeping Bear Dunes Day), M Christine Byron (Perfect Omena Day), Bryan Gruley (Bitter Frost), Mark Lindsay (The Soul of Sleeping Bear), Tim Mulherin (This Magnetic North), Steve Reddicliffe (The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails), Kit Robey (The Sleeping Bear Wakes Up), Barbara Siepker (Historic Cottages of Glen Lake) and more.

For the longest time, the owners of Inn and Trail Gourmet called him “flat white guy” because they didn’t know his name. Steve would frequent the Glen Arbor business almost every day and order a flat white—an espresso coffee drink. Turns out that Steve Reddicliffe edited “The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails”—a spirited tome of recipes, stories, and reflections written by quaffing legends. On Thursday, June 1, from 5-6:30 p.m., Steve will sign copies of the book at Inn and Trail while guests sample a couple special drinks he has created for the event.
