Joe Murphy on 31 Days
Hi Everyone-
Well, my trip to Mississippi was great fun: Sam, our accounts person, Alicia, our marketing director, and I all had a terrific tour of the region. We visited Graceland, toured the Stax Records Museum of Soul Music (especially fantastic), checked out the Blues Museum, had lunch at Morgan Freeman's Blues Bar, and even went to a juke joint! Alicia and I also had a very congenial and productive meeting with our colleagues from the Independent Bookseller's Consortium. It included a tour of the wonderful Square Books in Oxford: if you ever make it down there, I highly recommend you pay a visit.
For those of you remaining in the DC region, now's the time to make it to our stores! Our April of the Penguins promotion continues, and you still have time to make it in to take advantage of this great sale. If you buy two Penguin, Penguin Classic, Plume, or Riverhead paperbacks, you'll receive the third (of equal or lesser value) free. We have huge displays of these terrific books at all our stores, but be sure to tour the shelves, too! Penguin has one of the largest list of paperbacks in print, and you'll be dazzled by the titles they feature.
I also want to mention a brand new Buyer's Choice: 31 Days by Barry Werth. It's the story of a (perhaps unexpectedly) dramatic moment in history: the first month of the Ford administration, from Nixon's resignation to Ford's pardon of Nixon. It's an astonishingly suspenseful story, broken down day by day, with some surprisingly familiar figures from today's political scene working behind the scenes in 1974 to engineer the pardon that cost Ford both the nation's goodwill and the next election. We don't usually pick any political books as Buyer's Choices - they tend to be very topical, and not for your permanent personal library - but this is actually an engaging and important historical document. Mr. Werth signed copies for us this week, so we have signed copies available, and as always, our Buyer's Choices are all 20% off. Pick up your autographed copy today.
Talk to you again soon!
