Palin Launches Book Tour In Bethlehem Tuesday Night

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Sarah Palin launches her book tour in eastern Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is scheduled to sign copies of her new book, "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas" at a Barnes & Noble store outside Bethlehem.

The book went on sale Tuesday.

Palin chose to start her book tour near a city with obvious connections to the holiday. Bethlehem was founded by Moravians on Christmas Eve, 1741. Its nickname is the "Christmas City" and the city draws many tourists during the holiday season.
