How to Reserve a Seat for an Event in the Store

We offer limited reserved seating for anyone purchasing a copy

of an event’s featured book in advance from The Booksmith.

 

In the store: let us know you’d like a reserved seat

when you make your purchase prior to the event date.

 

By telephone: let us know you’d like a reserved seat

when you make your purchase prior to the event date.

 

By email: let us know you’d like a reserved seat

when you make your purchase prior to the event date.

 

Online: when you place your order via Booksmith.com,

add “reserved seat for talk on [date]” to the comments field.

NB: if you choose the ‘pay in store’ option, we cannot guarantee

a reserved seat. If you want to be certain to have a reserved seat,

we suggest you choose the ‘pay with credit card’ option.

 

In all cases, we will either confirm a reserved seat for you

or let you know that we have no more reserved seats available.

 

Please note this offer provides one reserved seat for each book purchased.
