Bookends

So, I wanted the new Al Gore book -- and I wanted it autographed. I ordered first from a store I'm not bothering to name where they sold out and didn't send an email until AFTER I called them. I was so angry, I cannot tell you, because I didn't discover this until the exact day that Bookends of Ridgewood, NJ was having their session with Mr. Gore.

So, I called them and I forgot the person's name, but a few days later I got the book. My only disappointment was no bookmark -- most bookstores include a bookmark with their store's name and location on it. I always keep this in the books in case I ever need to sell the book and need proof that it was signed by the author. And, more importantly, no paper naming the event. I save those as well. It, also, helps me remember if I want to do business with that store again or not.

Despite these two items, I am very happy with my order. I have no idea how they packaged it, because someone thought she should open it and not wait for me to get home -- You know who you are!

So, they have some nice upcoming events listed on their website. I recommend them, if you are interested in their books. Here is their information if you are interested:

BookSlut

Bookslut, isn't that a great name for a website that is all about books? I was surfing the Net and came across it and I just had to stop what I was doing and create a quick post!

They have a blog and author interviews, along with book news. If you have a spare moment, take the time to check them out.

Happy Reading!
