At 8 pm, directly following the Authors Reception, guests dine at dinner parties at private homes in honor of one or more of the guest authors. TICKETS: Tickets are $100 for the Authors Book Signing Cocktail Party, and begin at $300 for the Dinners (includes entry to book signing cocktail party). Tickets may be purchased at the Authors Night website (www.authorsnight.org), at the Library (159 Main St., East Hampton, NY), and by phone at [phone]x7.
