*A Collection of
Antiquarian Curios & Relics*
"Now
another century nearly gone,
What are we
gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't
do, what we wouldn't do,
It's a crime,
but does it matter?"
--The Kinks, Living
on a Thin Line
In the near future . . .
B. Traven Jr. here. You may
remember me from the Dr. Who episode, Night of the Triffids, which is
now available for $19.99 on higher definition (HHD) Green RayTM. I am also the host of The
Funniest Organ Harvesting Moments. "Hey, who needs two
kidneys when one will do?" Ha, ha!
Today I would like to tell you about our
public domain books that for a one cent are being offered for cranial download
from your good friends at Sahara.com:
Before J.K. Rowling's wildly successful
second Harry Potter series, she dabbled in the mystery genre under the
pseudonym Robert Galbraith with Cuckoo's Calling (9780316206846)
26.00. Still no word on when the second two titles in the trilogy, London
Calling and Higher Calling, will be available.
As the English monarchy-in-exile
prepares to celebrate King George VII's Silver Jubilee here in America, it
would be the perfect time to read Phillipa Gregory's The White Princess (9781451626094)
27.99. Phillipa was known as the 'Queen of Royal Fiction,' and this one
highlights the aftermath of the War of the Roses.
Dan Brown, host of America's #1 game
show with the highest body count, How Would You Die for a Million Dollars?,
was once a mega-selling author and his last novel Inferno
(9780385537858) 29.95 has finally been re-issued. A New York Times
bestseller, I don't believe Dante could have done it any better. He's
also responsible for his show's famous catchphrase, "Who's your next of
kin!"
Danielle Steel. What can I say
about Danielle Steel? At the age of 115 years young, Ms. Steel has just released
her 1,246 genre title Romance Novel #533 (9789876543210) 250.00.
However, some of her earlier works like First Sight (9780385338301)
28.00, which have been long out of print, are being made available for a very
limited time. Rediscover Danielle again, for the very first time.
Well, that's all the power from the grid
that we can legally use today . . . But wait, there's more. If you
order any of these titles within the next 5 minutes, we will send you not one,
but two copies of Glenn Beck's Agenda 21 (9781476717012) 9.99. Remember:
Conspiracy theories keep me employed. Thanks, El Becko. Ha, ha!
Odds
& Sods
Okay, we're
still waiting on Kathy-Jo Wargin's The Legend of Sleeping Bear (9781886947351)
17.95, but it should be shipping next week from the publisher. I'm
serious. Really . . .
National Book
Award-winning Andrea Barrett has finally released a new collection of short
stories, Archangel (9780393240009) 24.95. These five stories are
held together by the common thread of scientific discovery. It's
indicative of our society that a literary virtuoso like Ms. Barrett will be
lucky to sell 1/1000 of what Dan Brown will sell on any given book. Meh .
