Sunday afternoon at MLB

We're open every Sunday from noon until 4 but this coming Sunday, August 26 we'll have a special treat with a visit from Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer, joint authors of the suspenseful and humorous Agnes and the Hit Man. Their previous collaboration, Don't Look Down was a bestseller, now available in paperback.

Bob Mayer is also an author in own right and has just published an exciting thriller, Lost Girls under the pseudonym Robert Doherty.

Why not stop by this Sunday to meet these talented authors and find out how two people writing one book can keep their sanity.

This Just In

New Arrivals this week are headlined by Diane Mott Davidson with Sweet Revenge, the 14th of her culinary mysteries, but there's plenty more including new books by Kathy Reichs, Michael Dibden, Walter Mosley, Margaret Maron and many others.

Check the New Arrivals page for all that's fresh.

Sept. 10 - We'll lead off with Alison Gaylin and her novel of Hollywood tabloid journalism, Trashed.
