What I Talk about When I Talk about Running(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Murakami, Haruki,
Gabriel, Philip
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$21.00
Published: Knopf Publishing Group, 2008
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running should be essential reading for all aspiring novelists. Focus. Endurance. Will. Murakami argues that these traits are at least as important as talent in both running and writing-probably even more important. Whether you're a writer or a runner (or both), or just somebody who wants an entertaining read, you'll find a lot to love in this marvelous little book.--Dave Mallmann, Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop (Brookfield, WI)

Books: A Memoir(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
McMurtry, Larry
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$24.00
Published: Simon & Schuster, 2008
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Larry McMurtry's memoir of his life in books--buying selling, bidding, stroking and lusting after--is full of characters and delights that may never been seen by the "average" bookseller, but, what many of us wouldn't give for a chance! The innumerable details of ephemera, books and rarities offer lessons for anyone into the world of antiquitarian, used and truly rarifed items on the printed page. Mr McMurtry is generous with specifics and musings, personal history, whimsy and speculations. Thank you. And thanks to Mr. McMurtry for sharing.--Becky Milner, Vintage Books (Vancouver, WA)

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Wroblewski, David
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$25.95
Published: Ecco, 2008
Inventory Status: Out of Print
This story of a modern-day Hamlet, set in the northern woods of Wisconsin, reaches depths of emotion rare in any novel, much less a debut. Driven by powerful characters, particularly the mute Edgar and the amazing dog Almondine, this story of a family's destruction will resonate with readers long after completion.--Bill Cusumano, Nicola's Books (Ann Arbor, MI)

Telex from Cuba(Hardcover (Cloth))
by
Kushner, Rachel
Format: Hardcover (Cloth)
Price:
$25.00
Published: Scribner Book Company, 2008
Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Set in the last days of Cuba's golden age (at least, for American businessmen), this saga, at once familial and national, chronicles the drama of Castro's coming coup upon a family stuck in the center of an unstoppable storm. Kushner's storytelling -- as detailed as it is colorful; as truthful as it is fictional -- reads like a vast mural in prose, covering the reader's imagination with pages of forceful action and forthright emotion.--Steve Shapiro, Rainy Day Books (Fairway, KS)

A wealthy landowner befriends and helps a boy from a blue-collar family. But he is also intent on ushering a liberal New York senator into the White House.

Jennifer Haigh's latest book is the intimate story of a New England family, beginning one idyllic summer on Cape Cod, before their life changes suddenly.
