A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Saturday, September 1, 2012. The Tequila Incident, or the Red Rocker does San Francisco. Before the tequila, there was Sammy Hagar. Mr Hagar – the Red Rocker to his friends – had just released his autobiography. He was going to make an appearance at ye olde bookshoppe in San Francisco. It’s often a combustible mix, when the famous write a book and go on tour. Your typical book signing? With luck, a few customers - intrigued by the store’s display – will show up. The Book ...

Books With Nick: July 2012
http://bookswithnick.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Monday, July 23, 2012. 50 Shades of Stupid. What color should I use as I paint the face of Sharis Pozen, an Assistant Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice? How about 50 Shades of Stupid? See, those Mighty Titans of Publishing would sell an ebook to Amazon and Amazon would then sell that ebook to you. But often? You can’t sell our product for less than its cost. That’s predatory pricing in order to gain a monopoly! But then she went after the wrong ...

A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Saturday, December 15, 2012. Nick's Picks, the 100 Most Notable Books of 2012 - 72, 71. By Mischa Hiller. Mulholland Books. $24.99. If you read a thriller this year, make it Shake Off. Mischa Hiller has been likened to Graham Greene - and while that is a lofty comparison, his writing has Greene's eye for detail and can be sophisticated and dispassionate - but right in the head of the main character, Michel Khoury. 71: Brothers: On His Brothers and Brothers in History.

Books With Nick: November 2012
http://bookswithnick.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Friday, November 9, 2012. To Have and Have Another. If you snuck inside my head to determine the prototype for The Best Book in the World According to Nick, you would determine two things, posthaste:. 1 Nick loves books. 2 Nick loves booze. With that knowledge in hand, you would conclude that the Best Book in the World According to Nick would - of course - combine these two things. Then you'd write To Have And Have Another. A Hemingway Cocktail Companion by Philip Greene.

A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Wednesday, April 4, 2012. I Voted for Ann Patchett - have you? You know that list Time Magazine does? The 100 Most Influential People in the World? This year, I want you to vote for Ann Patchett, so click here. And we only have until Friday, April 6th. (I wouldn't have known about the Vote except for the fine people at the American Booksellers Association. But alerting their membership to important issues is what fine trade organizations do.). She hasn't been nominated.

Books With Nick: March 2012

A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Friday, March 30, 2012. The Legend of Telegraph Avenue, or - why Michael Chabon is more powerful than a locomotive. Booksellers may not have many perks - besides being in an industry with such growth potential - but when perks do come along, they're pretty much outstanding. Last Sunday, the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association. Please - just go do that, ok? Often their complaints came down to - It shoulda been me. Can we keep our eye on the ball? We liv...

Books With Nick: August 2012
http://bookswithnick.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Companion to Drinks With Nick. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Michele Bachmann doesn't like Gore Vidal. Gore Vidal, October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012. I save too many things. But I was excited because - after all - this was Gore Vidal. We have so few giants of literature left. So few names that are recognized outside the little world that is Arts and Letters. Gore Vidal was one. Probably the last. Why do we laugh so hard at these times? That's patronizing, isn't it? Our local public radio station that broadc...
