Be sure and buy two copies!
Apparently some publishers aren't worried about losing money these days. Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Meyer's blockbuster series are being translated into graphic novel form, and the print runs are staggeringly high, for the medium. But that's good news for local publisher Dark Horse, and local artist Joelle Jones, who's illustrating the Evanovich book.

Publishers are also getting more aggressive with their ebook pricing, maybe thanks in part to a recent spat with Amazon, maybe because of Apple, or maybe just as a last gasp offensive before they implode like the music industry.

In town, you can get your real live literary fix tonight at Holocene. Poor Claudia, a locally edited lit mag, is curating a night of music and poem/films. Special emphasis on the release of Zachary Schomberg's Little Blind Thing, a DVD of said film/poems. Bonus: An appearance from Spudnik, Potato Champion's new mobile fry cart.
