    Thank Ron! Noticed that James Sallis is also going to be there live at the beginning of December which has me pretty excited as well! Definitely a cool store!
    Really? Must be for that new omnibus of his short fiction…definitely looking forward to that one myself.

    Have a good time. I need to get myself down there for one of their signings, but I haven't seen anyone stopping there in the last couple of months, since I've been in the area, that caught my interest. Jason Rekulak was the really the only one, and he was only doing one of their remote interviews, not in-person. I also need to get down to one of their Hardboiled Discussion groups one of these days as well...the next two are on Richard Stark and Charles Williams books, which I would've normally been all over if my schedule allowed. Cool store.

    Going to the Poisoned Pen Bookstore tonight to see Richard Chizmar do a discussion/signing for his new book Memorials. Very much looking forward to this. May have to bring my copy of Boogeyman to see if he'll personalize as well.

    Just noticed on the Poisoned Pen Bookstore website that Richard Chizmar is doing a discussion/signing for his new book Memorials on October 24th. Will have to try to swing by for that event since the bookstore is in my neck of the woods.

    Thanks. I really cheer for quick sell outs as well. :-)

    I had the exact same thought when I got the latest Chizmar spam today. It really is becoming unbearable.

    The products being offered haven't interested me in many years. Plus I have a few personal opinions which shall be kept to myself.

    Small press book publishers should be publishing books, be supportive of other small press publishers, and practice top notch customer care. It's the only model that brings about sustainability.

    Without wanting to get into a bashing session, any particular reason why? I haven't made a mailing list purchase in quite a while, but I still like to see them, just in case.

    Nice!  Mine is still stuck in pre-shipping notice limbo since the 23rd.
    Finally got some movement.  Showing that mine was picked up by USPS this morning and should arrive next Tuesday.

    Thanks, and hope you enjoy those two Woolrich volumes when you have a chance to read them.
    I'm definitely looking forward to digging into them.  I just need to find the right time to slide it into the pile.
