One of the books that I’m most proud to have sold this winter - What Color Is My World? The Lost History of African-American Inventors - by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (and Raymond Obstfield) is just out. This clip is from his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe today. - http://mesjak.tumblr.com/post...
University of California Press has really made the paperback “Reader’s Edition” of the Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol 1 more accessible to a general audience: smaller trim size, more legible type, main text only, an introduction for the Twain-curious, 414 pages (down from over 700), and a teaser excerpt from the still-forthcoming Volume 2. - http://mesjak.tumblr.com/post...
Still one of the greatest “stealth” SF novels I’ve ever read, and one of the best book group reads EVER.
