there's holidays and then there's Christmas

One of my favourite bookselling perks (fame and adulation aside) is the chance to get a look at the new crop months before the harvest, as it were.
New arrivals this week are highlighted by new arrivals from Jonathan Lethem and one of my favourite crime guys, Michael Gruber.
Lethem's You Don't Love Me Yet comes out in March 07, Gruber's new book leaves his Tropic of Night Trilogy behind and begins anew (perhaps) with The Book of Air & Shadows, due in April.
First Rumsfeld gets sacked, now this.
A good month so far.
