The good stuff

We're being rather prolific today, but I wanted to add just one more piece to the information puzzle. This has been a dramatic week for new arrivals, so you might want to think about making today your "bookstore" day.

New in the store:

The new travel memoir You Can't Get There From Here by Gayle Forman.

A new biography of Augustine by James J. O'Donnell.

Kazuo Ishiguro just released Never Let Me Go, and was called one of the finest prose stylists of our time by Michael Ondaatje.

Bob Dole sends us One Soldier's Story.

Alicia Erian launches her career with Towelhead.

The estate of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle commissioned a new Sherlock Holmes mystery by Caleb Carr: The Italian Secretary.

The Singing Life of Birds: The Art and Science of Listening to Birdsong by Donald Kroodsma is back in stock after a big rush. It includes a CD of birdsong.

There's so much more that's new at the store. I haven't even mentioned Richard Florida's The Flight of the Creative Class and the much-anticipated Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.

Come on down to Spring Street, sidle up to the bar, order a German Chocolate Cake gourmet coffee or a chai tea, and browse to your heart's content.
