ABOUT PBS Book View Now
PBS Book View Now is an impressive gathering of National Book Award nominees and winners, as well as enthusiastic readers and writers, all in one place to explore and celebrate the written word. PBS continues to provide content that allows viewers to discover new ideas and explore the community around them. Books matter. And the authors that write them—together with the ideas and stories they tell—all matter. And no one understands this as well as PBS. It’s precisely this type of smart, thought provoking content that people turn to PBS to discover. For many viewers PBS provides a “stage” to musical acts, a “road trip” to uncharted landscapes, and is now uniquely positioned as a “conversationalist” to the world of books and authors. PBS Book View Now provides booklovers unable to attend the jubilee the occasion to join the fun, expand their knowledge through non-fiction, and get lost in the world of literature.

Host – Rich Fahle
After meeting his future wife for a first date at the venerated DC bookstore Kramerbooks, Rich eventually managed it for several years, before leaving to join the marketing department at the national cable network C-SPAN. He was Communications Director and Chief Spokesperson for the iconic public affairs network and helped launch Book TV. After a number of years, Rich left DC for Michigan to join Borders, the national bookstore company, at their headquarters in Ann Arbor. At Borders, Rich rose to become Vice President of Content and Entertainment, working with every major publisher, music label, and movie studio, as well as hundreds of authors, musicians and artists—a perfect place to satisfy all of his pop culture cravings. In addition to Astral Road Media, Rich is the executive producer of Book View Now on PBS, a vibrant book and author-focused entertainment hub distributed via the broad PBS platform.
