Tonight at 7 p.m., George Ouzounian, better known to millions of readers worldwide as Maddox, will be bringing his book tour to the Borders on 612 E. Liberty in Ann Arbor.

Maddox's "The Alphabet of Manliness" was released in 2006 and became a New York Times bestseller. On August 25 he released an updated version. The updated "Alphabet of Manliness" will be available for $16.95. After a short discussion, Ouzounian will sign autographs for those who purchase the book.

Ouzounian is the founder of the self-described "Best Page in the Universe," maddox.xmission.com, a popular Web site in which Maddox opines on such topics as "Who would make a better president, Bush or a box of Tic-Tacs?" and "There is no 9/11 conspiracy, you morons."

Ann Arbor is the eighth stop of a nine-stop book tour. The final stop is tomorrow in Chicago.

Despite operating largely on a word-of-mouth basis, Maddox.xmission.com has been able to attract almost 4 million visitors since its founding in 1997.
