Thursday July 25th at 6 pm:
Director, screenwriter, novelist Guillermo del
Toro signing Pacific Rim & The Strain:
Mr. Guillermo has volunteered to sign as a benefit to our bookshop. He
squeezed us in his already jam-packed schedule in order to help us out before he
jets off the next day. What a generous and kind-hearted man. Since the schedule
is tight he will just be signing books and chatting to people as they get their
books signed. We will make a signing-line number when you pay us for your book
purchase. The books are on a first paid first served basis.
The pre-order book for both mail order and for attendees is:
PACIFIC RIM, MAN MACHINE AND MONSTERS. Hardcover in dust jacket. It is a
large, magnificently illustrated book with the foreword by del Toro. $45.00
(Mail orders: plus $6 for shipping media mail). Please phone during our open
bookshop hours Tues-Sat 10:30-6 Sun 12-5 or email your credit card info with
(number, expiry date, cvv, billing address) to me christinebell@mindspring.com Most folks do it in two emails.
I will then make a signing line number and reserve both your book and your place
in line. Thank you so much for your pre-orders as soon as possible—so that I
can try to have enough books.

Southern Californian's fascination with their cars has long been the fodder of
legend and has defined a culture known for its fast-paced and sometimes reckless
lifestyle. Now, sixteen tantalizing stories from L.A. authors takes us on a
Joyride through the darker streets of Los Angeles. At the signpost, just ahead,

George Wier will be giving a talk about Texas
noir and signing his new mystery Long Fall from Heaven. $15.95.
Trade paperback original. Is a killer born or made? The place to find
out--the seedy but exotic heart of Galveston, Texas. Cueball Boland and Micah
Lanscomb—both ex-cops with troubled pasts—stumble into the path of a serial
killer. The murderer leads them into the dark history of Galveston when the city
was Texas’ Sin City. The killer has roots sunk deep into that history, but the
FBI and the old Galveston families don’t want Cueball and Micah to solve the
crimes. Listen closely. There’s an echo of another serial killer who stalked the
city back during World War II.
George Wier was a contributor to
LONE STAR NOIR and has written several other great mysteries. His signed trade
paperback original may be ordered mail order if you can't make the event. We
will be stocking many other of his books if you would like those signed, too.
Thank you George for supporting our bookshop as a long distance visiting
customer for so many years. Mr. Weir is part of the fabric of our bookstore.
Please come and support a fine writer, and a lovely man.
