How's Business?
By Don Blyly
Let me start by talking about parking meters. Several years ago Minneapolis started replacing the old style parking
meters (where you stick a quarter into the meter you parked next to) in downtown with this new parking system. You
park next to a sign with a number on it, and then you have to look around to find where the control box is located
(usually around the middle of the block). You then have to walk to the control box and enter the 5-digit number on
the sign you parked next to and feed the control box some money or a credit card. (In downtown, a quarter only
bought 6 minutes, so being able to pay with a credit card is very useful for those who don't normally walk around
with many dollars in quarters in their pockets.) The city found that they made a lot more money on the new parking
system than they did with the old parking meters, primarily for two reasons. First, with the old meters, somebody
might pay for an hour and leave after half an hour, and then somebody else would pull in, see half an hour still on
the meter and get free parking for that half hour, while with the new system it's impossible to tell if there is still time
on your space, so everybody pumps money into the control box. Second, if people can use a credit card they will
often buy more time than if they are limited to the number of quarters they happen to have in their pocket. So, they
started switching to the new parking system in other areas of the city.
Our area merchant association held a joint meeting with the Lyndale-Lake merchant association about 6 months ago
to discuss common problems and the solutions each group had come up with, and one of the topics was the new
parking system. The new parking system had been installed in the Lyndale-Lake area about a year before, and
everybody hated it. The city had increased the cost of parking and the hours of operation in the Lyndale-Lake area,
so it was more expensive to park there while shopping. The new system was confusing to people who hadn't

already used the system downtown, and the signage was very poor. Lots of customers tried to stop to shop, couldn't
figure out the system, and just drove away. And the merchants wondered how well the system would survive a
heavy-snow winter and the snow plows.
About 4 months ago, I saw that the city was planning to replace all the old parking meters in the entire city with the
new parking system by the end of the fall. About 2 months ago, the city took away most of our parking meters and
put in the new parking system. Again, the signage is not good, so we have lots of people come into the store and
ask what they are supposed to do with the new system. Fortunately, the city did not increase the price or extend the
hours in our area. Also, fortunately, you don't have to walk half a block to get to the control box–it's locate between
the KFC parking lot and the Dental Clinic parking lot. (Some of our older or disabled customers still dislike having to
walk so far instead of being able to just plug the meter at the spot where they park.) The control box (powered by
solar power) takes quarters, dollar coins, and charge cards, and prints out a receipt with your parking space number
and the time your "meter" will expire (very handy). However, you have to be sure that you enter your 5-digit number
correctly, or you'll be paying for somebody else's space and might end up with a ticket.
What's really strange is that the city did not replace the 4 parking meters directly across the street from us with the
new system. At first, they left the 4 old meters in place (although they removed all the other meters on that side of
the street the same day they removed the old meters from our side of the street), and later they replaced the old
meters with new meters that work just like the old meters, but they also have solar panels to power either a red or a
green blinking LED to make it easy for a meter monitor to tell if the meter has expired, and they accept credit cards
as well as quarters and dollar coins.
We've been promoting the Liaden Universe books of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller since the 1980s, and we do very
well with signed books by them. On August 28 we received a shipment of 500 signed copies of Dragon Ship by Lee
& Miller and 120 signed copies of Monster Hunter #4: Legion by Larry Correia. As I was taking the cases of books
off the truck, I immediately noticed that 3 cases of Dragon Ship had been punctured by forklift tines. Amazingly, only
2 books were damaged by the three punctures. I started filling mail orders for both titles, and all the copies of
Monster Hunter #4: Legion were in good condition. But I quickly found that 2 of the 25 cases of Dragon Ship had the
wrong dust jacket. Baen Books had decided to use different ISBNs and different prices ($1.00 difference) between
the signed copies and the unsigned copies, and the bindery had shipped me some signed books with the dust
jackets for the unsigned version. (There were also 3 copies of Dragon Ship that arrived with dust jackets where 3
different jackets from 3 different publishers were printed on the same piece of paper–very colorful, but very difficult
to read.) I let Baen Books know about the problems with the shipment, but kept on filling orders with the copies with
the correct jackets. I was filling and shipping 40 to 50 orders per day, and had shipped about 260 copies of Dragon
Ship before I found another case with the wrong jackets. And the next case also had the wrong jackets. And so did
the next case. I opened up all the cases and found that 200 of the 500 copies of Dragon Ship had been shipped with
the wrong jackets. That was about a 6.5 foot tall pile of boxes of books with the wrong jacket. Baen Books and I
exchanged a number of e-mails on how to deal with this mess, and they ended up sending me hundreds of little blue
round stickers about the size of a quarter to cover over the wrong price on the inside of the jacket with the correct
price and ISBN. Obviously, the problem was not the fault of the authors, or Baen Books, or Uncle Hugo's, but was
entirely the fault of the bindery, and all but one of my customers were very understanding. We still have some
signed copies left of Dragon Ship, and you can choose between a copy with a little blue sticker or a copy without the
little blue sticker.
More publishers are cutting back on the number of titles coming out in mass market paperbacks and instead doing
trade paperbacks of their titles. At the regional booksellers convention, I pointed out to one salesman that the sales
volume for his company's books had gone down significantly since they stop putting out mass market paperbacks
for most of their titles. He responded that if the customers at my bookstore still wanted to buy mass market
paperbacks, my bookstore must be the only bookstore in the country where that was true.
Short Recommendations
by Don Blyly
It seems that most of the better books I've read in the last few months have been fantasies. Stands A Shadow by
Col Buchanan ($7.99) is the second Heart of the World novel, after Farlander ($7.99). What had started as an urban
cult plotting to overthrow a ruling family has now become an evil religious empire trying to conquer the world. Lot of
military action, various kinds of assassins, lots of interesting characters. It should appeal both to fans of Glen Cook's
Black Company series and fans of Brandon Sanderson. I enjoyed both books very much and look forward to the next.

Benedict Jacka has issued three books so far in the Alex Verus series, Fated ($7.99, #1), Cursed ($7.99, #2), and
Taken ($7.99, #3), and all three received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. Alex is sort of like a Harry
Dresden of London. He is a diviner, one who can see multiple possible futures and figure out which set of actions
will lead to the desired end (usually involving his own survival). He's not a very powerful mage, and he's caught
between the Dark mages (utterly ruthless and obsessed with personal power) and the Light mages (many of whom
are just as obsessed with personal power as the Dark mages, but sneakier in their approaches to gaining power).
When he starts receiving offers he can't refuse from both Dark and Light mages to join their plots, survival becomes
challenging. The first book was good popcorn for a tired mind, but as the main character develops and his circle of
(sometimes) trustworthy associates grow, the books get better. I thought the second book was very good popcorn,
and the third book was well above the popcorn level. I went through all three novels in five days, and have been
recommending them ever since.
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence ($7.99) is the beginning of a very interesting fantasy trilogy. The first couple of
chapters provide a light, breezy look at a batch of stone-cold killers in what seems to be a typical medieval-style
fantasy setting. Then things start to get much stranger and much more interesting. As the background of the 13-
year-old head thug is filled in, he becomes much more interesting and almost sympathetic. While there are certainly
major magical elements, we learn that the book is taking place at least 1100 years in the future, and there are still
weapons of mass destruction around, although nobody remembers how to use them. There are plenty of battles and
scheming to keep the plot flowing quickly, but there are also scattered bit of finely polished writing between the
battles. The second book of the trilogy, King of Thorns ($25.95), came out in August, and the final volume,
Emperor of Thorns, is scheduled for next August.
Dodger by Terry Pratchett ($17.99) is a delightful stand-alone novel being marketed as a young adult novel. The
main character, Dodger, is a 17-year-old street urchin who gleans a living from London's sewers early in Queen
Victoria's reign. When he intervenes to rescue a girl trying to escape her abductors, he's thrown into an international
power struggle, during which he meet the mad barber Sweeney Todd, newspaperman Charles Dickens, and
politician Benjamin Disraeli. The book is labeled as a fantasy, but the only fantasy element I noticed was rumors of a
Roman goddess of the sewers, which Dodger never sees but many of the sewer gleaners believe in. This is a
humorous historical (with the historical details re-arranged a bit to help the plot) action-adventure novel that should
appeal to all Terry Pratchett fans, and many other readers as well.
About a year ago I recommended The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin ($7.99), the award-inning
first novel of The Inheritance Trilogy. But I kept putting off reading the rest of the trilogy because the first novel was
so good that I was afraid I'd be let down, as happens so often with the middle book of a trilogy. I finally got around to
reading The Broken Kingdoms ($7.99, #2) and The Kingdom of Gods ($7.99, #3), and they are also excellent,
and I should have read them all together while the characters from the first novel were still fresh in my mind. The
books are set far enough apart in time that only the gods and godlings are continuing characters from book to book.
The second book features a blind woman who can only see when magic is present, so she moves to Shadow,
beneath the World Tree, and supports herself as an artist. She becomes caught up in the search to discover who is
murdering godlings. The third book features (among many other things) the godling of childhood being forced into
adulthood.
Crown Thief by David Tallerman ($7.99) is the sequel to Giant Thief, and is a lot of fun, but should not be read
without reading Giant Thief first. Unfortunately, we sold out of Giant Thief a few days after Crown Thief arrived,
and have been trying ever since to get more copies. But the publisher and the wholesalers have been out of it for
the last 6 weeks, with not indication or when or if the first volume will be reprinted.
Clean by Alex Hughes ($7.99) is the only sf novel I've completed in the last three month worth recommending. Set
about 250 years in the future, a telepathic recovering drug addict is working with the police in the Atlanta area,
mostly helping workaholic Detective Isabella Cherabino work on a serial killer case, but his telepathic abilities also
come in real handy when questioning suspects in all kind of other crimes. In an investigative novel like this, it's
natural for the reader and the characters to find out many things at the same time, but there's also a lot of
background information that the main characters are basing their actions on which the reader isn't aware of at first. If
the author is too slow at filling in this background information, I get irritated. On the other hand, if the author is filling
in the background information too fast, it slows down the action and make me feel as if I'm being lectured to. I felt
that the background information was filled in too slowly in this novel, but once I had enough background to
understand the motivations of the characters, I really began to enjoy the novel and I'm eagerly looking forward to the
next in the series.

The Peter Grant series by Ben Aaronovitch is a great combination of urban fantasy and police procedural, set in
modern-day London with lots of action, a decidedly British sense of humor, and a refreshingly diverse cast of
character. Police constable Peter Grant hails from the Peckwater housing estate; his mum is from Sierra Leone, and
works as a cleaning lady; his dad comes from a long line of cockney geezers, and used to be a notable jazz
trumpeter. In Midnight Riot ($7.99), Peter has just completed his two-year probationary period, and appears to be
destined, much to his dismay, for the unit that takes care of all the paperwork. All that changes one freezing night
when he interviews a murder witness who turns out to be a ghost. He finds himself assigned to DCI Nightingale, the
last remaining member of a Met division that doesn't officially exist: a magic practitioner who is called in on all the
'special' cases. Peter becomes his apprentice, and with some help from Peter's classmate, PC Leslie May, they set
out to stop a revenant spirit from London folklore who's jumping from host to host, leaving a trail of corpses and
mayhem in his wake. And they also have to sort out a territorial dispute between Mother Thames, who started life as
a Nigerian immigrant, and has controlled the tidal part of the river since the 1960s, and Father Thames, who dates
back to Roman times and controls the freshwater part of the river. Moon over Soho ($7.99) begins with the sudden
death of a jazz musician. Peter hears an old jazz standard coming from the corpse, a sure sign that magic was
involved, and the dead man's brain shows familiar damage: someone or something used the man's brain as a power
source for their magic. The investigation turns up other recent deaths in the jazz community, same damage. Jazz
vampires, anyone? We get to see more of Peter's mum and dad as Peter works the jazz end of the case. And a
second string of unusual crimes leads to what Peter refers to as the Strip Club of Doctor Moreau, and puts Peter
and Nightingale on the trail of an ethically challenged magic practitioner (Peter naturally objects to Nightingale
calling the evildoer a 'black magician') - or possibly a group of them. In Whispers Under Ground ($7.99), a young
man is found dead in the Baker Street Underground Station shortly before Christmas, stabbed with what turns out to
be a piece of pottery with 'special' qualities. There's no record of the young man on any of the CCTV footage, so
how did he get there? And the victim was the son of a US Senator, which brings a very inquisitive FBI agent to
London to observe the investigation. Peter and Leslie (now apprenticed to Nightingale, although officially still on
medical leave) work with DCI Seawoll's murder team on the case, even as they and Nightingale continue the search
for the rogue magician who almost killed Peter in book 2. This book was the most fun yet; in addition to Peter's
humorous observations about British architecture, clueless drivers, and life in the Metropolitan police, it's full of pop
culture references to delight the geek soul, from Tolkien to Blackadder to Pratchett to Call of Cthulhu. I'm really
looking forward to reading more of these (the author has contracts through book 6 so far).
The picture books in Daniel Kirk's Library Mouse series are full of the love of reading and libraries. In Library
Mouse ($15.95) we meet Sam, a mouse who lives at the library and comes out at night to read the books. He loves
to read everything. Before long, he begins writing little books and shelving them around the library. His books are a
big hit with the library's human patrons, which makes Sam happy, but now everyone wants to meet the mysterious
author. Sam's not so sure about that. But he comes up with a brilliant solution. When people come to the library's
"Meet the Author" event, they find a sign on the table inviting them to look into a box. Inside the box is a mirror: the
author you meet is you! And next to the box, paper and pens. Before long, the library patrons are making their own
little books to tell the stories they have to tell. In the second book, A Friend's Tale ($15.95), Tom doesn't have a
partner for his Writers and Illustrators club project - until he discovers Sam's hole at the library. Book three, A World
to Explore ($16.95), introduces Sam to Sarah, a very active and adventurous mouse who loves to explore the
library and climb way up on the shelves - where Sam is afraid to go. He introduces her to the wonders of reading,
and in return, she decides to help Sam learn to be a bit more adventurous. In the fourth book, A Museum
Adventure ($16.95), Sam and Sarah head to the museum next door. They love looking at everything at the
museum, especially after they discover the Special Galleries - paintings done by the museum's resident Artist, a cat
who loves to do paintings of mice. The author does a great job showing how Sam and Sarah learn to bridge the gap
between their very different ways of doing things to become friends.
Christine and Christopher Russell's Warrior Sheep books (ages 9 and up, $6.99 each) are perfect for fans of
Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, with the same sense of humor and wacky but consistent internal logic. The
five rare breed sheep live on a farm in England, with Ida White and her great-grandson Tod. The Quest of the
Warrior Sheep begins when an object falls mysteriously from the sky, bonking Sal on the head. The sheep are
convinced this is a sign; an ancient ovine prophecy is being fulfilled, and they must go North (to Scotland, perhaps?)
on a mission to aid Lord Aries, Sheep of all Sheepdom, in his battle against Lambad the Bad. In fact, the mysterious
object is a cell phone dropped by a couple of bank robbers who will do anything to get it back, so you know the
woolly warriors are going to face some trouble along the way. As it turns out, the robbers are going to face even
more. The Warrior Sheep Go West after another strange occurrence convinces them they must once again act to
save all Sheepdom from a deadly threat foretold in the Songs of the Fleece. The prophecy specifies a land of hot
sun and scorching winds, so not Wales then, but the American West. How are they going to get there? Fortuitously,
some villainous humans have just arrived at the farm. They have a plan to take the sheep to the U.S. for their own
nefarious purposes - and they're going to be amazed at how quickly their plan falls apart. In The Warrior Sheep

Down Under, a surfing, bungee-jumping, white-water-rafting Antipodean adventure awaits the five heroic sheep.
With only a very crooked fairy godmother to guide them, they set out to rescue Tuftella, the fairest ewe maiden of
them all, who is locked away in a tall tower surrounded by a moat full of monsters.
The Copenhagen Connection by Elizabeth Peters ($9.99): When a freak accident at the Copenhagen airport puts
Margaret Rosenberg's secretary in the hospital, Elizabeth Jones is delighted to abandon her vacation plans and fill
in. After all, Margaret is her favorite writer, famous for well-researched historical novels. Then Margaret disappears.
Is this another of the eccentric writer's escapades, as her handsome, stuffy son Christian thinks? Or has she been
kidnapped? A note demanding Margaret's bathrobe only adds to the confusion as Elizabeth and Christian try to
figure out what's going on. Peters has a lot of fun with one of her favorite themes - older characters refusing to be
stifled by younger companions - as the various plot twists unfold.
The Enola Holmes mysteries by Nancy Springer feature Sherlock and Mycroft's much younger sister ($6.99 each,
ages 8 and up according to the publisher, I'd say early teens and up, due to discussion of some of the grittier facts of
life in Victorian London). Enola has a very appealing combination of intelligence, practicality, and derring-do, and in
each case, the success of her investigation hinges on things she notices and understands that older male detectives
miss, and on her ability to decipher an encoded message. Also, the books are full of historical detail, particularly
about the rigors of life in the London slums, and the narrow confines of acceptable behavior for upper-class women.
In The Case of the Missing Marquess, when her mother disappears from their country home on her fourteenth
birthday, Enola sends word to her brothers in the city. But when they arrive, they mostly seem concerned with
forcing Enola to wear corsets and proper lady-like clothing, and packing her off to boarding school at the end of the
summer. Her mother left some coded messages and a great deal of hidden money for Enola, so since her brothers'
plans don't suit her at all, Enola decides to run away, and head for London. Along the way, she passes an estate
where a duke's young son has gone missing, kidnapped, his parents think, but Enola discovers signs that he has
run away. And she begins to realize she might make a career of finding things. In The Case of the Left-Handed
Lady, Enola has settled in London under an assumed name, become adept at the art of disguise (particularly
padding to make herself look older), and invented a fictitious male employer for her investigation business: Dr.
Ragostin, Scientific Perditorian. She undertakes to find a missing noblewoman, while being hunted herself by her
famous sleuth brother. The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets finds Enola using all her wits to outsmart a sinister villain
and save Dr. Watson's life. In The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, she must rescue her friend Lady Cecily from
being forced into a miserable marriage; but for her plan to succeed, she'll need some help from Sherlock. The Case
of the Cryptic Crinoline starts with the kidnapping of Enola's dear landlady; the clues lead her to Florence
Nightingale, and to a noble family willing to go to great lengths to conceal a scandal dating back to the Crimean War.
The Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye finds Enola searching for a missing Duquessa, a fragile beauty who
disappeared after unaccountably deciding to descend into the depths of the Baker Street Underground Station.
Meanwhile, Sherlock is once again searching for Enola, this time because he needs her help to decipher an
encrypted message from their mother.
Mystery Reviews
by Gerri Balter
You never know what secrets your neighbors are hiding. That's what Phyllis Newsom finds out in The Christmas
Cookie Killer by Livia J. Washburn ($7.99). Phyllis feels sorry for Mrs. Simmons, who can't come to the annual
Christmas cookie exchange because she is recovering from a broken hip, and brings her neighbor some cookies.
When Mrs. Simmons asks for the cookie cutter Phyllis used for her snowflake cookies, she goes back home to get it.
When she returns, Mrs. Simmons has been murdered. The killer is still in the house and knocks Phyllis unconscious.
She doesn't think she saw anything that will help the police. When Mrs. Simmons' grandson is arrested for the
crime, Phyllis doesn't believe he's guilty. She finds out that Mrs. Simmons wasn't the sweet old lady Phyllis thought
she was. Mrs. Simmons watched her neighbors. Maybe she saw something she shouldn't have. Could one of them
have killed her? And what happens when the killer realizes what Phyllis is doing?
A Night Too Dark by Dana Stabenow ($7.99) is filled with politics. Too many people have been dying under strange
circumstances. It seems to have something to do with the opening of the Suulutaq gold mine. Kate Shugak thinks
the mine is a good idea, jobs for people who need them and money for those who operate small businesses nearby.
But the number of deaths bothers her and Jim Chopin. There must be a reason, and they have to find it, no matter
who gets hurt in the process.
A year after the death of his wife, Cork O'Connor is trying to put his life back together as Vermilion Drift by William
Kent Krueger ($15.00) begins. He's been having strange nightmares about his father, as though he was responsible
for his father's death. He tries to forget them, to concentrate on his job as security consultant for an underground
mine that might become a site for nuclear waste storage. There are those who disagree with it becoming a storage

site and feel that Cork is betraying his Native American heritage. While he explores the mine, he finds a secret room
that contains the remains of six murder victims. Two of the bodies were killed with Cork's gun, left to him by his
father. He has always idealized his father, who was a sheriff during the time five of the victims were murdered. Now
he wonders if his father wasn't as honest as he thought. There are also those who don't want him to investigate and
will do what they must to stop him. Finally, he realizes he must come to terms with who killed the six people and
why, no matter how painful it might be.
Sentenced to Death by Lorna Barrett ($7.99) deals with the change that comes with murder. Tricia Miles, owner of
Haven't Got a Clue bookstore, is a happy woman because her life is going the way she wants. Then a good friend is
killed, one of her employees finds a new job, and Tricia's love life is going badly. Tricia doesn't deal well with
change, especially when it makes her realize that she doesn't know her friends as well as she thought she did. She
doesn't believe her friend's death was an accident. She works hard to find the truth, a truth that changes how she
views everyone.
The Lover's Knot by Clare O'Donohue ($14.00) begins with happiness. Nell Fitzgerald is in love and about to be

the pills, but they still believe Marcy is guilty. Meanwhile, Marcy tries to figure out why the dead woman gave her the

can't figure out who or what Ivy is. Then the dead woman's lawyer is murdered after Marcy goes to see him, and
