“Pittsburgh has a lot of books. The only difference is that now, if you find certain ones, there are prizes.
More than 150 specially designed books have been scattered all over the city, as part of the Andy Warhol Museum’s new exhibit “Warhol By the Book.” If you find one, you can bring it to the Warhol for two free passes to the museum and a discount at the Warhol Store.
Each book has its own special place in a custom-made bookshelf. When all the books are returned, the spines will create a work of art from the exhibition.”
Find a #WarholBookHunt book + redeem it = FREE museum admission to see #WarholBytheBook. https://t.co/WfWeyQsyYd

Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.
Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.
Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!
As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.
With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.
Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
