Here are some details about the books available for purchase that Destination: Books has listed at its Alibris store at destination.alibrisstore.com.
Juliet, Naked and Songbook by Nick Hornby.
I went to see Hornby at the Highland Ballroom in Atlanta while he was on tour promoting the paperback version of Juliet, Naked, I waited in to get these books signed and give him a copy of my own book about books The Book Shopper: A Life in Review since Hornby has a book column in Believer magazine. He was gracious and signed everything, but I was disappointed that the never wrote about The Book Shopper (sigh). The Songbook copy is the original hard copy book and has the accompanying CD with 11 of the songs that Hornby writes about. See the blog posting from June, 2010.
Songbook is listed for $50 on my destination.alibrisstore.com. If you buy it, I will include Juliet, Naked for free with the same shipment (valued at $15). Just inquire at murray.browne905 (AT) gmail.com.
Seurat by Richard Thomson
This is a quality, large, trade paperback from Phaidon Press that deserves a good home. Just $10 plus S & H.
Marshal McLuhan on the Nature of Media: Essays, 1952-1978 edited by Richard Cavell
This is a book for the McLuhan junkie, but some of his observations are still relevant: "There is not possible protection from technology except by technology" or "The small child does more data processing -- more work than any child in any previous culture in the history of the world." Just $20 plus S & H.
Down & Outbound: A Mass Transit Satire by Murray Browne
The video says it all. $11 plus S & H. But volume discounts are available at book's homepage at downandoutbound.com. Look for the Down and Outbound Store link.
The Book Shopper: A Life in Review by Murray Browne
Destination: Books and the author of The Book Shopper are one and the same. You can still purchase a new copy of The Book Shopper from the publisher Paul Dry Books, but if you want a signed copy reach out to me on email at murray.browne905 (AT) gmail.com. I will also throw in a "bonus*" that is recommended in the book. The prices are about the same at each $12 (plus S & H).
* Something from Larry McMurtry, Anne Proulx, Jonathan Lethem, Milan Kundera, Mary Karr, Richard Ford, Jonathan Franzen. One of the chapters, btw, is "Managing the Personal Library and so this special offer is kind of a weeding of my library."
