A Discounted Love Letter: Paying Homage to Building 19

Morrill Memorial Library is pleased to host local authors Randy Cogill and Tripp Underwood to present "A Discounted Love Letter: Paying Homage to Building 19" about their book Have a Cheap Day, a coffee-table book chronicling Norwood's Building 19 on Tuesday, August 4 starting at 7:00pm in the Simoni Room.

What happens when a salvage business operating out of an old warehouse gives rise to two creative entrepreneurs who go on to produce some of the best local advertising the world has ever seen? What about when a couple of Gen X friends dig into that legacy, only to form an unlikely friendship with one of the brand's key architects? In this conversation, co-authors Randy Cogill and Tripp Underwood share the story behind Have a Cheap Day, their coffee-table book chronicling the best Building 19 ads from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Through personal stories and insight gleaned from the colorful characters who shaped this beloved local institution, they'll explore why this junky store continues to live on in so many New England hearts.
