Use 'em or lose 'em
As promised, we've added even more titles to what will be a 200-title-plus periodicals inventory. If you show you want them, we'll be able to keep them. Otherwise, away they'll go.
But first, some news. Publishers Weekly, the bible of the bookselling and publishing world, announced its Book of the Year today. It's Jon Stewart & Co.'s "America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction."
We've been a believer in this one from the first. In fact, it was the first book we ever sold from this location. You owe it to yourself to see this one.
Tonight is Dessert Night, as is every Tuesday at Destinations. If you haven't yet brought the family down, this would be the night. You won't believe the spread Ann has put together. We're still planning to bring in local restaurateurs, shopkeepers, caterers, and home-based sweets-makers with samples from their establishments and it would go a long way if we could "promise" them a large turnout of folks eager to discover new treats.
Here's a list of those magazine and journal titles we've added just today:
American History
American Road
Civil War Times
Clotilde's Sewing Savvy
Education Next
Family Chronicle
Guitar World
History Magazine
Independent Film Quarterly
Military History
National Geographic
Potluck Children's Literature
Southern Living
Canadian House & Home
and of course, we brought in Food & Dining, Louisville last month.
See ya at the dessert table, starting at 6 tonight.

Apologies for not making it down tonight, but I'm ground down by another pre-Christmas day and am soaking my feet ... and drinking a beer. Offer up an exact starting date (we'll do it more than once, of course) for microbrew night at Destinations, and I'll be there lugging product.
A Wednesday or a Friday suggest themselves, at least so far as scheduling. Fridays are evolving into "Third Space Night," tagged as Games for Grownups, but a tasting of microbrews on what is decidedly a high-traffic night for our correspondent doesn't seem to be right. In our little get-together last week, we talked about how and whether to incorporate adult beverages into the mix...without resolution.
I'd be eager to hear what others have to say, but this is basically a business decision for both the store and our correspondent, the purveyor of New Albany's distinctive seasonal and perennial brews. If we haven't had a chance to meet before Dec. 16, we'll use the occasion of the community holiday gathering to hash this out over mulled wine, wassail, etc.
