Merry Christmas from our band of happy booksellers.
Thank you for a wonderful year!
Meeting continuously since 1992, our store-sponsored book group convenes in the bookstore on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm to discuss the best in fiction & nonfiction, with the occasional classic thrown in for fun.

Inspired by discussions held in the SFWC (Speculative Fiction Writing Cooperative), a book group focusing on works of Speculative (and Science) Fiction has been born. We'll convene on the 1st Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm and, like our other in-store book groups, newcomers & drop-ins are always welcome.

Literary Feast: The Famous Authors Cookbook
with Greg Atkinson & Susan Wiggs
The King County Library System Foundation announces an exciting new cookbook - Literary Feast: The Famous Authors Cookbook ($22.95) - to benefit literacy and lifelong learning programs in our libraries and in our communities.
Literary Feast is a fascinating collection offering nearly 100 outstanding food, drink and dessert recipes along with author profiles plus their personal perspectives.
It features a piquant foreword by noted chef and author Greg Atkinson who understands the art of writing and knows his way around the kitchen. Notable Northwest authors J.A. Jance, Garth Stein, John Nance, Deb Caletti, and Nancy Pearl are featured alongside national bestselling writers
Alexander McCall Smith, Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, and Chez Panisse’s Alice Waters.
Authors provided their favorite recipes and stories about their families, cooking, and more. The book offers a glimpse into their lives and their work and
provides an array of recipes from Rosemary, Olive Oil Cake (Susan Wiggs), Barry White Baked Brie (Jennie Shortridge) to Zia Irma’s Italian Sponge Cake (Adriana Trigiani) to After-Burner Chili (John Nance).
Digger Dogface Brownjob Grunt, with Gary Prisk
Take a full-immersion dip into the hellhole of 1960's Vietnam. Crawl inside the head of Lt. Edward Hardin and walk the tightrope between sanity and surreal reality that surround and envelop him.
Live with the never ending tension of waiting for the one little mistake that will end it all for you or the men you have sworn to get through today... and the next day. Endure the heat, the monsoon, the jungle rot, the insects, and the snakes. Oh yeah, and the FUO---Fever of Unknown Origin---that takes over from time to time.
These were almost as bad as the attentive lunacy of those sending you on missions with little meaning and less reward. Then close the book thanking God it wasn't you. And recognize that you understand more about war than you wanted to know---but now realize that you needed to know.
