Phinney Books

50th birthday month thread!

@JeopardyJesseC @JamesJCrossley @KenJennings Got it--thanks!

@PhinneyBooks @JamesJCrossley @KenJennings Put my order in!

It’s a real book! My publisher wasn’t pranking me. It comes out June 13 and you should pre-order it at bit.ly/3kLgJKO

@AhabLives @spencerruchti @Casey_CAC Daily but not daily! I like your style.

@AhabLives @spencerruchti @Casey_CAC Daily! Where does that live?

@JamesJCrossley @Casey_CAC @spencerruchti Cause whose knows what a nawsletter is anyway?

@JamesJCrossley @Casey_CAC @spencerruchti About time someone called out the repeated fraud of our subject lines! "Phinney Books _Weekly_ Newsletter"?!?Way more than 34 counts by now...

@Casey_CAC @spencerruchti Helps to have a quiz at the bottom

@Cait_onthe_Luce @LaurenGolden__ Thanks, Caitlin! I will say that the Three Lives newsletter is the only other bookstore one (besides @madisonbks !) that I _always_ read.

Three Lives continues to have the best bookstore newsletter in the game. Quarterly, real recs of books new and old, personable -- in short, a delight, the neighborhood bookstore in email form.

@spencerruchti @AhabLives @madisonbks We're right on the 5 line! James and I will be downtown, so we'll warn the staff.

@ben_a_goldfarb @Lenni825 Ha! Yes, sorry about the "Old." We have "New" and "Old" reviews in our newsletter, and anything that's not "New" is therefore "Old" (sometimes with tongue somewhere in cheek). But thank you so much for your wonderful book, Ben--it's been a hit on our shelves since it was new!

A bit odd that publication in 2018 now qualifies #EagerBeaverBook as an "old book" — this slot should be reserved for, like, Peter Matthiessen — but many thanks to @PhinneyBooks for the generous staff review, and to @Lenni825 for sharing the good tidings.

@bethjusino @MtneersBooks So glad you spotted it before we could forward it to you. Pretty good company there in the club. Congratulations!

@NivenGovinden So glad you saw it! Thanks so much for your lovely book!

@spencerruchti We're nerdy enough to tag ourselves!

@spencerruchti It us!

@FocusOnSci It looks like there's contact info on his website: arthurleej.com/contact.html

A happy morning for all of us Annie Ernaux megafans at Phinney Books, but a particular shout-out to Kim, whose Top 10 reading list for 2020 included nine books by Annie Ernaux (and one by the very Ernauxian Jenny Erpenbeck): phinneybooks.com/kim-2020-top-10

@spencerruchti FWIW, here's the whole bloody thing. (It's long, but there's a quiz at the bottom.) us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=5a788bdb128…
