Erstwhile bookseller, current island dweller. Loves books, comics, family and friends, not in that order.
My Mom gave me a very detailed explanation about the whole thing when I was about 5 and she was pregnant. Then she revisited the topic when I was 10 to emphasize how very easily anyone in our genetic family becomes pregnant. I had five younger siblings by that point.

Too late for me - I already own everything you've published - but I'm happy to get the word out.

I do know of a couple of booksellers who are not collectors, but know far more who are. For myself, when hanging with other book people, I'm careful to say I'm an acquisitor rather than a collector, as it doesn't bother me to have a tattered paperback next to that nice 1st Ed HC.

Sorry, my knee-jerk reaction to this article title is to ask whether the writer has ever met even one bookseller.

Happy Birthday! It’s also my son’s birthday - he’s 32.

AND... I just now see that the originating post was from five months ago. Jeepers, and here I thought I was participating in a conversation.

I see someone else has already answered with the lovely Field of Fucks sampler, so here's my favorite go-to on the usefulness of fuck.

My son is a self employed artist and the struggle is real.

It looks like there will be many wonderful things in our near future! Thank you for posting the Angry Robot Books 2025 publication list.

Here’s hoping for no damage and a swift return of power.
