Matthew White Book Signing – ‘New York Minute'

Hillsdale General Store and HGS Home Chef proprietor Matthew White has a new book out this fall titled NEW YORK MINUTE – PUBLIC CLOCKS THAT MAKE THE CITY TICK. Incorporating a lifetime devoted to design and historic preservation, Matthew tells the story of New York City through its public clocks that date from the eighteenth century to today. Filled with new photography and illustrations by the author, plus evocative historic images, this treasure of a book makes an ideal gift.

Pulitzer Prize & Tony Award winning playwright Doug Wright has this to say about NEW YORK MINUTE - "Ostensibly a study of clocks, Matthew White's disarming and whimsical book manages to be so much more: a vivid history of New York through an unexpected lens, a masterful study of design, and a cunning exploration of the very nature of time itself".

Join Matthew at Cook & Larder (in the Hillsdale General Store building) for refreshments and a signed copy of his new book. Ticket price includes one signed book (but you may sign up for more than one!).

No refunds will be offered on purchased books for this event. If you are unable to attend, your signed book can be picked up at Hillsdale General Store.

Matthew White is a former ballet dancer, a noted interior designer, author, antiquarian and preservationist. An emeritus board member and former Chairman of Save Venice Inc., he lives in the Hudson Valley while working to revitalize the historic hamlet of Hillsdale NY where he owns and operates Hillsdale General Store and HGS Home Chef. It was New York City that pulled him out of the Texas panhandle in 1977, and it was New York that saved him from a life that stood still. His first book - Italy of my Dreams – The Story of an American Designer’s Real-life Passion for Italian Style was published by Pointed Leaf Press.

Cancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets for this event. If you cannot attend, your signed copy(s) may be packed up at a later time at Hillsdale General Store.
