Bunch of Grapes Bookstore OK, Amazon continues to astound me. As one fantastic bookie put it: "Telephone me, Ishmael."

This is funny: Amazon has apparently just patented a “system and method for marking content,” in which the text of a e-book could be changed slightly with any particular download in order to ...

You may have heard some of the kerfuffle this week as Publishers Weekly announced their top 10 books of 2009, and there was not a female writer among the bunch. There’s been a lot of response to this, most of it said better than I ever could. ...

Bunch of Grapes Bookstore Today is National Bookstore Day! Everybody go out to your locally-owned, indie bookstore and treat yourself to something great! If you're on Island, you can start with story time at the Bunch of Grapes at 10:30. We're reading books about fall and making trees! (Apparently Natnl Bkstore Day has smitten me with some sort of exclamation point disease.)

She's at the bank right now, but did you ever read BENNY & SHRIMP? Or have you read the new Margaret Atwood? Both good choices, depending on your mood.

Bunch of Grapes Bookstore For people who doubt that censorship still exists...

Source: www.schoollibraryjournal.com
Don’t expect to see Lauren Myracle’s new book Luv Ya Bunches (Abrams/Amulet, 2009) at Scholastic school book fairs this year. It’s been censored—at least for now—due to its language and homosexual content.

Bunch of Grapes Bookstore A nice commentary on the current book pricing war.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Amazon sells a book called "Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture" -- at a 46% discount?As the Wal-mart/Amazon price-gouging war that commenced late this week suggests, the corporate (and cultural) obsession with discounting has gotten way out of control. ...

Bunch of Grapes Bookstore Join us tonight at 7:30 at the BoG with Dr Greg Skomal where he will discuss and sign THE SHARK HANDBOOK! For those who don't know him, he's the "shark guy" and it should be fantastic! I've had a couple people ask whether they could bring kids. Please do! There is no better combo than sharks and kids!
