One last quote from Cloudy with a Chance of Marriage (also featured in this space yesterday) which comes out TOMORROW. <plug>And if you order it from my bookstore, you can get it signed and everything.</plug>
Other books with booksellers in them that I couldn’t resist for that reason: 84, Charing Cross Road, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop, The Haunted Bookshop, the entire Booktowne series. I’m in the mood for reading about fake booksellers, so please leave yours in comments. Rompy sex scenes preferred. Bachelor naval officers VERY MUCH PREFERRED.
