JEFFREY TOOBIN
THE NINE: INSIDE THE SECRET WORLD OF THE SUPREME COURT
A Just Books' Event at Arcadia Cafe
20 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public; Reservations Recommended - 203-637-0707
Jeffrey Toobin, author and legal news analyst, will visit to sign copies of The Nine: inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court (Anchor Books,$15.95). Toobin is probably one of the most recognized and highly-regarded legal analysts today. A staff-writer at the New Yorker since 1993 and Senior Legal Analyst for CNN, Toobin has been a welcome asset, helping Americans decipher legal actions and events in this country for over two decades. The Nine, his most recent book which takes a look into the chambers of the Supreme Court, spent over four months on the New York Times Best-seller List, and the book was named one of the ten best books of the year by many publications including New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and The Economist. Toobin has written three other highly successful books, one on the controversial election of 2000, one on the OJ Simpson case and one on the sex scandal involving President Clinton. Toobin received his bachelor's degree at Harvard College and his law degree at Harvard University where he served on the Law Review. Before becoming a news analyst, Toobin worked as an Assistant US Attorney in Brooklyn. He currently lives in Manhattan.

MICHELLE MORFITT & CHRIS GORMAN
OUR PLACE: GREENWICH
Just Books
28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public
Chris Gorman and Michelle Morfitt will read and sign copies of their delightful story for both kids and adults called Our Place Greenwich. Narrated by local resident Jack, a lovable Golden Retriever, Our Place Greenwich brings you fascinating facts about Greenwich through a beautifully illustrated tour of the town that is certain to elicit from you a raised eyebrow, "huh, I never knew that," at the end of at least one of the sentences! The cover was illustrated by Old Greenwich School's Kendall Gregory, age 9. A GREAT Mother's Day gift! A portion of the proceeds from every book sold to go to local organizations, such as the Greenwich Alliance for Education and The Historical Society of the Town of Greenwich.

JERRY OPPENHEIMER
TOY MONSTER: THE BIG,
BAD WORLD OF MATTEL
Just Books
28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public
Jerry Oppenheimer, best known for biographies like "Just Desserts" (about Martha Stewart) or "State of a Union" (Bill and Hillary Clinton's marriage), has now trained his sights on the world's biggest toy company, Mattel, in his new book Toy Monster: The Big, Bad World of Mattel (Wiley, $24.95). Oppenheimer exposes Mattel's egos, scandals and flawed products. In this toyland, nothing is cute or cuddly. Oppenheimer takes a tour of Mattel's seamier side, highlighting its corporate practices and interesting cast in this scathing portrait published to coincide with Barbie's 50th anniversary. Fast-paced and engaging, this exposé will absorb readers until the last page and will forever change the way they think about the giant toy company.
