Costco to Host Book Signing for Iowa City

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - May 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Author
Bob Hibbs will be available to sign copies of Iowa City

After raucous times on the western frontier during the 1840s and 1850s, Iowa City settled into a relatively sleepy existence while its principal industry, the University of Iowa, was finding its way from obscurity into an important Iowa resource. Its once-too-small-to-succeed university hospital has blossomed into a medical and economic powerhouse. Research in widely varied fields, from space science to microbiology, finds fertile grounds and minds. Big Ten football beckons on fall Saturdays.

Hibbs has authored four previous books, including three on Iowa City. He's a third-generation Iowan who landed in Iowa City for college and stayed.
