PSB at the BBF

We had a great time at last weekend's Boston Book Festival, as you can probably tell from Tomie dePaola's expression in the photo.

Thanks to the wonderful authors who presented at the festival, we now have plenty of new signed books in stock here at the store. Among them:

The Woman Upstairs, Claire Messud
I Wear the Black Hat, Chuck Klosterman
Hole in My Life, Jack Gantos
Gods Like Us, Ty Burr
Taking the Stand, Alan Dershowitz
Strega Nona Does It Again, Tomie dePaola
Flora and Ulysses, Kate DiCamillo

Give us a call (617-491-2220) if you'd like to reserve one of the signed copies, or click on any of the titles to place your order online -- just be sure to put "signed" in the order comments.

New Kobos Some Day, Cheaper Kobos Now

In late August Kobo announced their new line of devices; three new Arc Tablets and a new Aura. Read more about these new devices here. We don’t know when the new devices will be available, but we do know that last year’s Arcs and the Kobo Mini are being phased out and their prices have been dropped. From now until we run out, the 16G Arc is $139.99  the 32G Arc is $169.99 and the 64G Arc is $199.00  The pocket-sized Mini, Gary’s e-reader of choice, is now $59.99
