Stephen King’s freshly minted collection of short stories, “Just After Sunset,” came with a teaser video version of “N,” an obsessive compulsive who thinks he can spread his crazy to other people. King partnered with Marvel Comics and Simon & Schuster to create a series of animated shorts. the result is quite brilliant and mesmerizing.

yesterday, our fabulous directed field work student, Cara, finished up a major series order, filling gaps in the more popular series (mostly mysteries). 456 titles made it to the final list. about 1/2 are available through one of the major vendors, the other 1/2 will be bought through the amazon marketplace, using every bit of Tracy’s more than fabulous acquisition skillz. when available, hardbacks will be purchased to prevent the endless cycle of mass market paperback replacement. it will probably take a few months to start seeing them on the shelves.
