He spent years as a well-known political figure on the local and national front. Now, he can add another title to his resume: author.

Retired State Supreme Court justice and former state Republican chairman Richard Rosenbaum signed copies of his book at the Bagel Bin Cafe Sunday.

The book has received critical praise, and even includes a forward by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

“My book 'No Room for Democracy, the Triumph of Ego Over Common Sense,' there seems to be a tremendous amount of interest, and colleges and universities are beginning to use it as a teaching tool," said Rosenbaum.

Aside from his writing, Rosenbaum is also senior counsel with local law firm Nixon Peabody.
