Vanderbilt University Press: COUP on the way to booksellers and libraries

June 20, 2013

[NASHVILLE, TN] Copies of COUP, the eagerly awaited insider’s account of a secret bipartisan plot to remove a governor, are now in stock at the publisher’s warehouse and are being distributed to booksellers and libraries. COUP: The Day the Democrats Ousted Their Governor, Put Republican Lamar Alexander in Office Early, and Stopped a Pardon Scandal by Nashvillian Keel Hunt, with a foreword by John L. Seigenthaler, is published by Vanderbilt University Press.

A group of generous donors interested in the story has ensured that every Tennessee library, college, and middle and high school receives a copy of this story of extraordinary bipartisanship. A special edition of COUP will be distributed to these schools and libraries later this summer.

Among the events planned for the book’s release is the Chancellor’s Lecture Series at Vanderbilt University, which will feature Keel Hunt in early fall. In addition, events are planned for the Nashville Public Library, the First Amendment Center, the Southern Festival of Books, and more all around Tennessee.
