Meet Your Community Manager

ChrisHello everyone! I am Chris, your Community Manager for all things books.

This will be an exciting month in the world of literature as we will see many great new releases! Some stand-outs include: War Journal: My 5 Years in Iraq by reporter Richard Engel, Executricks, or How to Retire While You're Still Working by Stanley Bing, and Me of Little Faith by Lewis Black. 

In other book-related news, Beirut-born writer Rawi Hage won one of the world's most lucrative literary prizes Thursday for his debut novel, De Niro's Game, about two childhood friends who take different paths to survive amid civil war in the Lebanese capital.  Five judges from Ireland, Britain, Spain and the United States selected Hage for the $155,000 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

If there is a new book being released that you are passionate about, or an old one that needs a little press, feel free to blog about it.

This Month's Featured Item

5 little pigs5 Little Pigs (1890)

alegalangel's 1st edition antique children's book, 5 Little Pigs, was published in 1890.  With a cloth cover binding and linen pages, it is certainly a throw-back to another era.  Among collectors, it is a highly sought-after collectible, and this copy is in great condition.  Books like these have long commanded a high value from those who wish to collect them because of their beautifully drawn art, rarity, and appeal to both children and children at heart.  If you would like an item or collection featured in an upcoming newsletter, please feel free to send me a message.
