Bite-size previews
Welcome to all the new readers of this blog. Feel free to comment on anything you see here or just e-mail us at ops@destinationsbooksellers.com if you'd rather keep your comments private.
In choosing which books to stock, we get a lot of advance information and we necessarily apply both commercial and personal standards. I thought I'd share with you some of the titles we are considering this season. These aren't necessarily recommendations, but are rather a little litmus test of what you might like to see in the store.
Let us know if you have a special interest in what you see. We'll try to do this on a periodic basis, but there's no promise that we will, in fact, carry these titles in stock unless we think our patrons want to see them.
