NUTLEY, NJ – In a new twist to the author signing and book launch for his new book Nutley Notables, the Men and Women Who Made a Memorable Impact on Our Home Town, Nutley, New Jersey, local author Anthony Buccino is inviting all the people mentioned in the 200-plus pages of biographical sketches about Nutley people to come and sign their profile page at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015, at Jarets Stuffed Cupcakes, 231 Franklin Avenue, Nutley, N.J.
Nutley Notables include Old West sharpshooter Annie Oakley who has a street here named in her honor; home-diva Martha Stewart who grew up on Elm Place and often writes of growing up in Nutley but has no street named for her; and others who may have to wait a while for street naming honors.
Featured individuals run the gamut from politicians to high school coaches and athletes; from notorious personalities to beloved entertainers to the fellow in the local shop to the artists and writers who toiled long ago and today. Their images and stories document the unique contributions they've made that shaped Nutley today.
Even the most ardent Nutley historian will find new surprises in this collection.
The book launch will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015, at Jarets Stuffed Cupcakes, 231 Franklin Avenue, Nutley, N.J.
For more information, visit NutleyNotables.com. A limited supply will be available on site.
The book is available online at Amazon.com

Buccino's Old View of Nutley in Verse
Buccino to read ‘Nutley’ poem
at anthology launch
Local writer scores a poem about Nutley’s rich history in the new anthology “The American Voice in Poetry: The Legacy of Whitman, Williams and Ginsberg” being published as part of the Distinguished Poets Series at the Poetry Center in Paterson.
The Nutley author weaves a poem around Frances Goodrich, who grew up in town and went on to write the “Thin Man” film series and later won a Pulitzer Prize for the play “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
Buccino’s poem suggests Goodrich’s screenplay for the popular Christmas film “It’s A Wonderful Life” has hints of old Nutley, and that the scene of the angel and George on the bridge may have been inspired by the Lyndhurst bridge over the Passaic River, not far from where Goodrich grew up.
In recalling Nutley of about 100 years ago, Buccino cites Guthrie’s Dry Good Store and some of our famous residents and visitors, including Mark Twain, Annie Oakley and Richard Stockton lining up for that new invention called ice cream.
Frances Goodrich was inducted into the Nutley Hall of Fame in 2005. Buccino stood in for the writer and her family at the ceremony.
Buccino will read “A Wonderful Town” at the book launch and poetry reading by contributors to the anthology on April 10, at 1 P.M., Hamilton Club Building, 32 Church Street, Paterson, N.J. For more information, visit Distinguished Poets Series http://old.pccc.edu/poetry/events.htm
