The big news here at One Nation Under Fred is that the paperback edition of Appetite for America has been scheduled for publication very soon—on May 3, 2011!

The book will have a very cool new cover–which I’ll share as soon as I have the final version–and a new subtitle:

Fred Harvey and the Business of Civilizing the Wild West–One Meal at a Time

At the moment, you can only pre-order it on the Random House website, but I’ll post links to amazon, B&N and indiebound as they become available.

I have already started booking some speaking engagements in conjunction with the paperback: some in May, some over the summer, and some in the fall, when I’m hoping to visit many of the nation’s top hospitality programs (for which the paperback of the Fred Harvey biography makes a great introduction to the history of the American restaurant and hotel businesses and the entire customer service industry.)

So get ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy the paperback.
