There are few things that all of us here agree upon. The greatest children's story (Wind in the Willows, of course), where to file Vanity Faire (is it current events or women's mag?), or whether Dave Eggers' pretention should be forgiven in light of his genius (undecided). If there's one thing we do agree on, it's that our work is easier when someone else does it for us. The guys and gals over at Green Apple Books in San Francisco have made a charming web series that expresses our sentiments (namely "white rage") about the Kindle reader. Lazy reading makes for lazy minds. But we're lazy too (about making videos), so we sorta understand.
A good friend of mine sent it to me today, and I wanted to share it with all of you. This is where we live!
There are some exciting new changes happening in the store. We have partnered with Spirit At Work, and they are now showcasing their products in the books store where the games used to be located. We also have moved the game section back by the children's section to make space for that. So don't be too concerned if things are a bit different next time you stop by. We still have everything, it is just hiding in different parts of the store.
One other thing I would like to point out, I mentioned that we have implemented a staff picks shelf in our store. It is pretty nifty and has a variety of different kinds of books spanning from best-sellers to children's books. If you need something to read but don't know quite what to pick up, stop by and take a look at our recommendations. And, obviously, any of us on staff will be glad to talk with you about anything. What I really would like to do is just encourage reading, especially reading for pleasure. At this point, there are few things more important, and there are few better things you can do for yourself.
