Enright's remarkable family epic, winner of the Man Booker Prize in 2007, has arrived on our discount tables. This is the UK edition, and, as usual, that means it is much nicer to look at. That's right, American publishing houses, I'm calling you out! The American version wins my award for Dullest Book Jacket of the Year for 2007, hands down. It's called the Gathering, and it's about a large family. What about this dark, searing novel inspired this lame jacket? Now here's a great book cover, which just happens to contain a great book. Aoibheann Sweeney's debut novel flew under the radar, but and here's your chance to get to know her exciting new voice, on the cheap. |

Our family just got a bird feeder from SANTA (just in case Jackson is reading this) and Jess just called me from home, thrilled to see our first visitor, a little chickadee at the window. Clive Dobson's beautifully illustrated guide to winter feeding might just end up on our windowsill unless you move fast. Then there's this other book that caught my eye, and again, if you want it, call now, 617-566-6660. Organic, hand cut paper designs of dragons and flowers birds and beasts are inspiring in their simplicity and clarity. |

 Here is Kate, our sometimes assistant manager. She is shown here with not one of her thirty-three cats. We are very proud of Kate. Kate is modeling, in her own special way, the new line of Scarves and Hats (Reversible!!) from This Is J. Our Card & Gift Room, in case readers need to be reminded, is amazing. |
