The only thing I can think of that comes close to that is the Magic Faraway Tree series. Sorry I can't help!

We sold out of Red Rabbit the second day we had it in stock, and then when we went to order more - usually minimum of 50 for a bestselling new release - we found out that the distributors had sold out too and had to reprint. Every day for about two-three weeks we had customers complaining, but...

You're right, Prolixic. The words 'logicality' and 'publishers' don't generally fit into the same sentence. I'm sorry I couldn't give you more information than that! :)

The stuff we're supposed to tell the customer about trade paperbacks is as follows: - Same format as hard cover unless the publishers have for some reason made a special exclusion concerning the exact size - There isn't any real reason why some choose these instead of hardcover, it is entirely...

Hello hello! I love Nick Hornby too, but I haven't the movie version of About a Boy yet... mmm Hugh Grant. Why do we always go for the bad boys?

I do have a website and have had for the past four years. Those of you familiar with the 'weblog' phenomenon won't need further explanation, but for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I pretty much have a daily diary where I post my thoughts on particular topics for the...

It IS dangerous, believe me. The first four months I worked there I literally did spend my entire pay every week on books. Now rather than buying books I think it's time to buy a book shelf...

I have four books going at the moment, The Catcher in the Rye, The International Gooseberry - Ben Hatch, The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver, and On Mexican Time - Tony Cohan. I tend to pick up the closest or the one most suited to my mood. You'd think it would be confusing but in an...

Pretty much straight from one to the next. Unfortunately being in my last year of school, exams throw a spanner in the works. It's so tempting to choose a new book over maths revision!

I agree - I love the way hardcover look on the shelf, and it's so hard to wait around for the paperback editions when the new releases are right there in hardcover. (Having said that I usually end up buying paperback anyway, much to my disgust!)

Just thought I'd give everyone a big hello and thanks for having me. I can't wait to sink my teeth into some book discussions, and I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions on books they've loved/hated - I work in a bookstore and it's great to have a balanced view to give the customer. (Help...
