  • About the Literary Luncheon Series

    Where the Sidewalk Ends Bookstore has hosted authors at the Author Literary Luncheon Series on Cape Cod since Summer 2008, in what has grown to be an exceptional combination of authors and readers in a gorgeous setting overlooking Pleasant Bay.

    Authors dine at the tables with the guests, speak from the podium, and sign their books. Each event is unique! We have had film trailer screenings, related menu items, authors’ families and publicists attending, raffle giveaways (including a hand-thrown glass flower blown by the author!) and slideshows. The unifying force is a passion for books!
