The Partners Bookseller Insider

There are already a few casualties in the “War on Christmas.” Glenn Beck was really pushing Jason Wright’s Christmas Jars (9781590384817) 7.95 on his show last week, which seemed odd since it’s a couple of years old, but then I realized that Jason is Glenn Beck’s co-author on The Christmas Sweater (9781416594857) 19.99. Glenn takes care of his peeps. Unfortunately, Christmas Jars is out of stock at the publisher until February. Oh, and Glenn recommends that you buy lots of gold, not because he’s being compensated by Goldline but because once our society sinks into total anarchy and we’re wearing human carcasses for warmth, Mad Max and his brethren will surely respect the value of gold...

The other title that is already MIA in the “War on Christmas” is the scanimation or animalmation or animotion version of Clement Moore’s ’Twas the Night Before Christmas (9780761452980) 16.99. It is done. Stick a fork in it...

The transgressions of Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, are too extensive to list here. However, if you’re interested in an abbreviated list or maybe you just want a good laugh, M.L. Elrick and Jim Schafer’s The Kwame Sutra: Musing on Lust, Life and Leadership from Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (9780615332550) 7.99 is the book for you. This title would be perfect for the cashwrap...

One final note: Greg Mortensen’s Three Cups of Tea (9780143038252) 16.00 has really taken off again, which obviously can be attributed to the release of his new book, Stones into Schools (9780670021154) 26.95. Czech your stock...
