Next week, Bruce Springsteen will be on the road again for a short tour promoting Born to Run (Simon & Schuster), published September 27. The five lucky stores where he'll appear are Books-A-Million in Chicago, Ill., Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, Ohio, BookPeople in Austin, Tex., 2nd & Charles (part of Books-A-Million) in Kennesaw, Ga., and the Tattered Cover, Denver, Colo., which before his first tour made an excellent video seeking to lure him to the store. (See it here.)
Springsteen made nine appearances in late September and early October that included several Barnes & Nobles, Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle, Wash., and Powell's Books, Portland, Ore.
