Greetings! ,
Jim Butcher's Publicist has informed us that Jim is still sick and he is back in the Hospital. Let's all keep Jim and his Family in our prayers and well-wishes, especially during this Holiday Season. When Jim is able to appear at our Author Event, we will reschedule the Date & Time and inform you in our Weekly E-mail Newsletters, Website and Flyers. Thank You.
***************************************************
Are you looking for the perfect Gift this Holiday Season? Check out some of our Holiday Picks from our selection of Author Autographed Books.
The New York Times raves about Bouchon Bakery, the newest Cookbook from Award-Winning Chef Thomas Keller and Chef Sebastian Rouxel: "This is a real Cookbook." We have Author Autographed Books by these Chefs, as well as a limited number of Author Autographed Hardcovers of Bouchon. For the true foodie, a unique and accessible package to unwrap, open again and again, and savor each time.
 
David Von Drehle, Editor-at-Large at TIME Magazine since 2007 and Kansas City author, continues to draw high praise for his Abraham Lincoln biography Rise To Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year. David has graciously restocked our Author Autographed Hardcovers. If you want to watch David's November 13th Author Event at Unity Temple on The Plaza, C-SPAN 2 Book TV has now posted an archive link to watch the Presentation. We also highly recommend the epic Steven Spielberg feature film Lincoln! It is historic like Schindler's List and Amistad! Lincoln is sure Win OSCARS!
What's the Box Office Blockbuster of the Holidays? It's definitely got a bite to it. The final chapter of the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn: Part Two is out, and we've got the ultimate gift for the Twihard on your list: a complete set of all four Twilight books, autographed by Stephenie Meyer. Kept in darkness since her Kansas City visit in 2008, we've unearthed them for this Special Holiday Season. We've also got several Author Autographed First Editions of The Host, coming to a theater near you in 2013!
 
Looking for great Books for children? We've got Author Autographed Hardcovers of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid #7: The Third Wheel, Judy Schachner's Skippyjon Jones: Cirque de Ole, Lauren Oliver's The Spindlers, Jamie Lee Curtis's My Brave Year of Firsts and Gennifer Albin's Crewel.
  
 
Great Historical Fiction? Check out Alex George's A Good American, Ayad Akhtar's American Dervish, Laura Moriarty's The Chaperone, Kate Morton's The Secret Keeper and Michael Chabon's Telegraph Avenue.
  
 
Compelling Non-Fiction? Sportswriter Frank Deford's Over Time tops our list of great reads for sports fans. Jeffrey Toobin's critically-acclaimed look at the Supreme Court, The Oath, is perfect for legal & political junkies. The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy by David Nasaw is a must read for business & history buffs. Cezanne: A Life by Alex Danchev is our top choice for art lovers.
 
 
And oh do we love Cookbooks! We've got Author Autographed Books from all the stars: Barefoot Contessa Foolproof by Ina Garten, The Book of Burger by Rachael Ray, Weeknights with Giada by Giada De Laurentiis and Cooking Italian with The Cake Boss by Buddy Valastro. Plus we have a limited number of Author Autographed First Editions of Bluestem: The Cookbook, from Kansas City's award-winning restaurant duo Chefs Colby & Megan Garrelts.
  
 
We're still compiling our Staff's Favorite Books of 2012, and we welcome you to stop by and hear the discussion!
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Vivien & Roger
