Cruisin’ Deep Time with Ray Troll and Kirk Johnson

On Thursday, January 30, 2025, Alaskan artist Ray Troll and Smithsonian paleontologist Kirk Johnson will be visiting Phinney Books. Join them on an “epoch” journey through the deep history of the Earth: experience the perfect blend of science and art as they share captivating photographs, stunning artwork, and enthralling tales from their travels across the American West and North America's Pacific Coast. Their adventures are beautifully captured in the newly published second edition of Cruisin’ the Fossil Freeway (2024), Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline (2018), and the brand-new children’s book Alaska Dinosaurs, Mammoths and More (2025). 

Ray and Kirk will be signing books from 6 to 7 pm at the store, followed by a multimedia talk at 7:15.
