History Book Club: Guns, Germs, and Steel

Bookish Notions · Media, PA

Bookish Notions' history book club meets to discuss Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' (20th anniversary edition), free to attend with no registration required and the book available in-store at 10% off.

Expect a relaxed, conversational evening where a group of history readers digs into Diamond's big-picture argument that geography and environment — rather than innate differences between peoples — shaped which civilizations conquered others. Discussions at neighborhood bookstore clubs like this tend to be informal and welcoming to newcomers, so you can weigh in or just listen. Since it's free and registration-free, you can simply show up having read (or partially read) the book, and grab the 20th anniversary edition in-store at a discount beforehand.

Bookish NotionsThis cozy independent bookstore on Media's State Street offers an intimate, welcoming setting for live events. Surrounded by carefully curated shelves of books and a warm, inclusive atmosphere fostered by friendly owners, it's a charming space where author talks and community gatherings feel personal and close-knit.
