"Shell's perspective on less obvious negative effects of big box proliferation is a fascinating report on the genesis and impact of our obsession with what we believe is more for less. Her history of discounting shows just how long consumers have been manipulated, with studies of the effect of bargains on our brains proving the methods, while real value declines with the loss of durable products and viable economic models. The chapters on IKEA and outlet malls will make most readers flinch and hopefully lead to more conscious spending choices." Carla. Regularly $16; our price $12.80.

“Everyone who loved The Liars Club - the groundbreaking very personal memoir every reader found a way to identify with - will be thrilled with this new entry. From leaving Texas at 17 for the California surf, in and out of her marriage to an unconsciously unbelievably privileged man, to her writing and teaching career, Karr tells her story with prose that only a poet could write. Karr’s outlook and insights are informed by the same alcoholism that shaped her parents’ lives and deaths, but with the perspective of hard-won sobriety in the hands of such an accomplished writer, this book has absolutely universal appeal.” Carla.

"A perfect summer love story, One Day took me by surprise. Told as snapshots of the relationship between Emma and Dexter on July 15 between 1988 and 2007, the novel follows this pair who, meeting on college graduation day, are unable to let go of that special something they see in each other. The dialogue is perfect, and Dexter has that Hugh Grant bad-boy-you-want-to-love quality. The book is smart and so very funny, wise and way too sad, and a perfectly believable portrait of the heartbreak of growing up. You will love Emma and Dexter." Leslie.
