The wife and I will be driving to Portland

so we can watch a baseball game, despite

the fact that we have an awesome baseball

team within biking distance from our home.

So what? So Ada Books will shut shop on

Monday, Memorial Day, that’s what. I

promise you that I’ll be praying for our

fallen soldiers the entire time I’m gone.

Sorry to to tell you this, book & comics lovers,

but Ada will be closed this Friday, May 21th

 through Monday, May 24st. Personally, I don’t

know how you’re going to live without me.

I know I couldn’t. See you on Tuesday!

Lots and lots of new magazines this week.

Allow me to name names: Esopus, 3 X 3,

Paper, Print, Brass Sopaipilla, Mome,

The Believer, McSweeney’s #34 and all

the usual monthly and weekly newsies.

Ada Books now sports* the last

eight or so issues of Mineshaft!

*’Sport’ is a creepy verb but I had

to use it, for the sake of ‘comedy.’

                    Wilson is in!

    Only Skin 1 -5     Now available at Ada Books.

A box of beauties has just arrived from Ugly Duckling Presse.

They are anxiously awaiting your inspection & your adoration.

Genuine news will forthcome here from time to time but for now I’d just like to thank all the web elves and net gnomes who made this site possible (that would be Paul, James, Jason, Jay and even old Stu).  You’re all aces!
