Zell Miller holds booksigning on Saturday
Latest book is outselling Harry Potter, locally
By FRANK BRADLEY Sentinel Writer

If you haven't gotten a copy of Zell Miller's latest book, which was released in July about the same time the last Harry Potter book came out, then you might want to stop in at Jeff Hansen's bookstore just off the square in Blairsville.

Not only will you have an opportunity to buy a great book, but the author himself will be on hand to personally autograph it.

You might want to get to the Book Nook early though for there is sure to be a line. Doors open at 10 a.m. and the former Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator is scheduled to be there until 11:30. Well, maybe a bit longer if the line still extends outside around the corner.

Miller has written several books during his political career covering topics from politics to mountain music. Some have topped the national best-seller list, including Corps Values and a Deficit of Decency.

Yet none will have greater appeal to the audience of these north Georgia and western North Carolina mountains than his latest book, The Miracle of Brasstown Valley. In it he reflects his love of the area and its people.

True, these mountains are a miraculous place, and Zell Miller has helped to make it so.
