This is not store-related but it is friend and neighbor-related. Paul Malmont will be reading from his first novel on May 24 at Bookcourt in Cobble Hill. It promises to be "thrillingly, unapologetically pulp" and really, how can you go wrong with that?

In non-pulp news, we'll be getting a few copies of Fushigi Circus, a Mark Ryden book that is published in Japan (and yes, in Japanese). These will sell out I predict so if you are interested, let me know.
