Our Pop-Up Book Group with Steve Martin & cartoonist Harry Bliss (NUMBER ONE IS WALKING)
FALL ‘25 book groups will open for registration to the public on Sunday, August 31st at 9:00 Am. At that time, and not before, links to individual events, below, will be added.
In-Person tickets to our events may sell out during the pre-sale period to our Priority List*, but some events will still have room. If you are hoping to attend a sold out event in person, you are encouraged to join the wait list. Wait lists really do move, especially in the days leading up to the event. If you purchase an online ticket and an in-person ticket becomes available, your online ticket will be refunded.
One week before the event, in-person ticket holders will receive the address (in Manhattan) where the book group will take place, and online ticket holders will receive the Zoom link. A final reminder will be sent one day before the event.
*How do you get added to the Priority List? You’ll be automatically added after you attend your first Pop-Up Book Group, whether in-person or online. Priority List members enjoy a one week pre-sale period twice each year, when our events open for registration.
OUR FALL 2025 SEASON!

FAQ
Q: The event I want is sold out for in person attendance. Should I bother with the waitlist?
A: Definitely! Waitlists really do move, especially in the days leading up to the event. Priority on the list is given to Priority members (see below) but there have been book groups where every person on the waitlist was ultimately offered a place. You might also consider purchasing a ticket for the Zoom. If a place opens up for you in person your Zoom ticket will be refunded.
Q: How to I get on the waitlist?
A: On the Eventbrite registration page, click the green TICKETS link, then the red JOIN WAITLIST link on the next page. If there is no JOIN WAITLIST link the waitlist is full.
*Q: Why are some events sold out even before registration opens to the public?
A: We have a Priority List of people who have previously attended our Pop-Up Book Groups. They are offered an advance registration period and priority on the waitlists, as well as a few other perks, like last minute invitations for events with openings. How do you get onto the Priority List? Simple: Just register for and attend a single book group. You’ll be added automatically.
