Hi Everyone-

Well, I can tell fall is here when the really great holiday gifts start showing up in the stores, and we just received what may be this year's niftiest: The Complete New Yorker on DVD.

I doubt there's another periodical that better matches the taste of our customers than the witty, urbane, always insightful New Yorker. And this set is, let me make this clear, the WHOLE New Yorker. Literally every page of every issue since the magazine's inception. The articles, the cartoons, the "Talk of the Town," even all the advertisements. 4,109 issues, all in one place. You can flip through the pages, zoom in on a particular page, or—most helpfully—search for a particular article, cartoon, author, or artist. Cool, huh?

The other buyers and I felt strongly enough about the DVD set that we made it a Buyer's Choice, so we're selling it at 20% off. Supplies are limited—the publisher can't reprint it again before the holidays, so come get your copy today. Given its content, I think it may amount to the most important literary document of the last 100 years. So you need it!

One of the reasons to support independents is that we like to take chances on titles. So when Jim Tenney, who has decades of buying experience, pointed out to me that Kent State University Press was publishing a definitive edition of Hemingway's Under Kilimanjaro, I instantly agreed with him that it needed to be a Buyer's Choice. To clarify: this is a never before published Hemingway masterwork. While parts had been cannibalized into a few other works, this is the only complete edition of this great travel narrative, presented as Hemingway intended.

It's not something that many stores are going to feature. But we select books according to what fits our customers, and I really feel this completely unique publication is not to be missed. Take this rare opportunity to purchase this great work.

Hope you're all doing well. If you have any comments about what we feature in our stores, or anything else, feel free to contact me at jmurphy@olssons.com.

And enjoy this fabulous run of weather!

Best,

-Joe Murphy, Head Book Buyer
