Best-selling author Richard Lederer is coming to EHS!

The Escondido Humane Society is proud to host best-selling author Richard Lederer for a book discussion and signing of his newest books, "A Treasury for Dog Lovers" and "A Treasury for Cat Lovers!" Richard Lederer is always entertaining and full of wit, so it is sure to be a wonderful afternoon of good company, good conversation and good books. A portion of the book sales will be donated to the Escondido Humane Society.
