Books Speaking of Charity...
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 1:03 PM
...this Saturday, December 6th, the University Book Store will have a book advice booth. In that booth, various publisher's reps and superstar booksellers will offer advice to shoppers about what books to get for themselves and others. There will be a can for donations to an as-yet-undetermined charity—suggested donation: a quarter—and you will enjoy a premium bookselling experience with someone whose job entails a whole lot of reading.
At noon, the special bookseller will be Nancy Pearl. I know many people who would kill for ten minutes of undivided, personalized book recommendations from Nancy Pearl. At 3 pm, I will be in the booth, ready to be your personal shopper. I hope to see you then.
