This Week on The Austin Chronicle Show: Texas Book Festival Picks

Team Faires previews the literary event of the year

This week it's a family affair on The Austin Chronicle Show as Arts Culture Robert Faires and daughter Rosalind Faires, one of the Chronicle's regular Books critics, take on the Texas Book Festival.
