Seattlest.com has posted an email interview with yr. humble author, with a gushing introductory commentary about the book.
A few local shops have the book back in stock this week. But your best bet is still to buy direct, from the link near the top left corner of this page.
As a year begins, our new book remains sold out at many area stores. Some were out of copies even before last Wednesday’s rave Seattle Times review. You can still order it online; and you can email me about getting a personally autographed copy ($20 plus postage). Retail outlets ought to resume having it next week.
Peter Donahue has written a positively gushing review of Vanishing Seattle in the Seattle Times today. It’s just too lovely.
…report selling out of Vanishing Seattle. Thanks to you all, it’s become the surprise local bestseller of the season. Epilogue Books in Ballard will have approximately three dozen copies at 10 a.m. Saturday, if you need yours before the big holiday.
…Vanishing Seattle signing party was even more spectacular and better-attended than the first. Epilogue Books had one copy at the end of Monday’s event. It got 40 more copies by Tuesday evening. Only seven remained at Tuesday’s closing time. The store expects to get more copies in by Friday.
Other outlets report having sold out of their initial stock in one or two days. The following other places are, or were, known to have had it in stock, or to be ordering/reordering:
And it can be attained online, from the link near the top left corner of this page.
After the holidays, I hope to offer autographed copies to site readers.
…impromptu Vanishing Seattle book signing was a smashing success. I met many old and new friends, and Epilogue Books sold all but one of the copies they had in stock. Fret not, however: A fresh batch will be unsealed and unboxed in time for the regularly-scheduled book release party, 6:30-8 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) at 2001 NW Market Street in brilliant Ballard.
…not to trust the mainstream news media: SeattleTimes.com listed the Vanishing Seattle premiere party as a “Hot Ticket,” but then got the date wrong. As a result, many people may show up at Epilogue Books (2001 Market Street in brilliant Ballard) tonight, Monday, instead of the scheduled night, Tuesday. I’ll show up both nights just in case.
…to Steve Mandich, whose blog contains a lovely rave review of Vanishing Seattle.
Spent six hours today convincing stores to carry our lovely new book. Here’s a fabulous promo display at that un-disappeared Seattle landmark, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop.
Vanishing Seattle is now out, at least in some stores. I’m going on a sales junket around town in the morning to make sure it gets stocked prominently in your local book outlet.
A special sudden Vanishing Seattle release party will be held Tuesday, Dec. 19, 6:30-8 p.m., at the fabulous Epilogue Books in beautiful bodacious Ballard. Be there.
Our latest book Vanishing Seattle exists! I’ve seen a copy, and it’s damned beautiful if I do say so myself.
It will appear in local stores starting Monday. It’s already available for preorder from Amazon (check the link near the upper left corner of this page). Every home should have one. Seriously.
Yes, there will be a release party, but it will probably occur after the holiday season so all of you can attend. Watch this space for further details.
In keeping with her well-contrived “hot mess” public image, it’s a disjointed scrapbook of images and random thoughts. Salon’s reviewer can’t seem to get out of the cookie-cutter mode of feminist analysis, spending paragraph after paragraph discussing whether the book proves or disproves Love as being some sort of role model for All Females Everywhere. Silly reviewer: Of course she’s not. That’s part of her appeal, or at least it used to be.
Our newest book is at the presses, and will be out for the holidays.
Vanishing Seattle collects over 200 pictures of former local icons and landmarks. It’s a book every Seattleite of a certain age will crave.
Until I get a proper ordering page set up, here’s where you can pre-order it thru Barnes & Noble.
Spectacular promo events will be scheduled. Watch this space.
…is now 52 percent female, according to unnamed sources cited by In These Times. One more geek bastion breached.
