CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) _ Woodland Press LLC is rereleasing former Gov. Arch Moore's biography in a softcover edition.
A release party for "Arch, The Life of Gov. Arch A. Moore Jr." will be held July 11 at Borders Bookstore in the Huntington Mall. The 85-year-old Moore and author Brad Crouser are expected to attend.
