The Bookselector: December 2011
http://bookselector.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 December 2011. So I unwrapped a Kindle on Christmas morning and here are some initial observations. Reading on a Kindle is fine, no problems. It's great to be able to instantly download books although super-frustrating when you arrive at your mother-in-law's to find she has no idea what her wifi password might be. The screen is fine, turning pages is fine - blah di blah - if you have a problem reading on a Kindle then you should seek psychological assistance - it's no BIG deal. Using the Tom...

The Bookselector: October 2011
http://bookselector.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 October 2011. Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. I kept hearing about this book on Twitter. Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. A new book I din't know about by one of my favourite authors? I tried to find a UK publisher but there didn't seem to be one. John, The Bookseller Crow. Tweeted me to say he had a US copy in his shop. A few moments later I was on the phone handing over my post code and card digits. The next day the book arrived. The day after, I read it. There is one moment in particular tha...

The Bookselector: September 2011

Friday, 30 September 2011. A Word From My Doctor. You want something for the weekend? Posted by The Bookselector. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Through A Glass Darkly. I can't believe I'm quoting the Bible again but hey, you know I'll be out doing the Satanic shit later and as a title it seems apt for what I want to say. I tend to think of it as a kind of mesh linking computers but I suddenly realised that this wasn't good enough. What is an IP address? Why does it matter? How do the tides work? It's not ...

The Bookselector: August 2011

Wednesday, 31 August 2011. 342 vs "Good Bookselling". 342 was a feature of Waterstone's bookselling when I worked there so it has obviously been around for a very long time, almost certainly too long. I was at Waterstone's when I saw my first billboard advert for Amazon. 24hours delivery to your home? I'm not going to claim to be some perfect bookseller but I do think what Waterstone's needs to do is to get back to good bookselling as the basis of everything it does. Good bookselling? I'm Not Racin' Ya!
