Much has changed in the book business since the Los Angeles Times launched its Festival of Books 17 years ago, but the FOB — as it is fondly known — remains the premier event of the literary calendar for the more than 100,000 readers and writers who never miss it.

The 2012 outing will be held April 20-22 on the campus of USC, a venue that was adopted last year after the festival’s many years on the campus of the Trojans’ cross-town rival, UCLA. USC may have seemed a bit distant for Westsiders, but last year’s inaugural outing at the new location turned out to be rich, lively, diverse, accessible and well-attended.

Admission is free, and parking is $10. For tickets and a complete list of events and participants, visit the Festival of Books Web site at events. ” title=”jewishjournal.com/twelvetwelve” target=”_blank”>jewishjournal.com/twelvetwelve and can be reached at books@jewishjournal.com.
