UPCOMING SIGNINGS
We are getting signed copies of two titles which we think will sell out rapidly. By taking pre-orders, we may be able to get more signed copies if necessary, so please let us know if you would like a copy of the following:
When the Killing’s Done by T.C. Boyle. $26.95
Alma Boyd Takesue is a National Park Service biologist and the public face of a project to eradicate invasive species, such as rats and pigs, from the Channel Islands off Santa Barbara. Opposing her is Dave LaJoy, founder of an organization called For the Protection of Animals. What begins as the disruption of public meetings and protests soon escalates. We’re very excited to be getting signed copies of this tense tale.
The Tiger’s Wife by Tea Obreht. $25.00
This is a brilliant debut by Obreht, the youngest of the New Yorker’s 20-Under-40. Natalia Sefanovi, a doctor living in an unnamed country, crosses the border in search of answers about the death of her beloved grandfather. Ian has read this and says it is "...one of the best books I’ve ever read." That sells me. This will be a Main Selection of the First Mystery Club.
