More than 600 authors and 90,000 book lovers gathered in Decatur Square over the Labor Day weekend for the 2014 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival.
“It was another record-setting year for the Decatur Book Festival, and our hundreds of events went off without a hitch,” said DBF Programming Director Philip Rafshoon in a news release.
“From our Keynote and Kidnote addresses on Friday, until the last book was signed on Sunday night, we had larger crowds than ever before and a solid, quality lineup across the entire literary spectrum,” Rafshoon said.
