Elliott Bay Book Co. staff recommendations

Rick still recommending Calasso, good: Ruin of Kasch Roberto Calasso is a remarkable publisher and a most extraordinary author. This book is a re-casting of history, leaping from the French Revolution to the Killing Fields of Cambodia and back to fabled African Kingdoms. Where legitimacy came from, how we went from acts of sacrifice to genocides and more...written with verve. Challenging but supremely rewarding reading.

Paul C not there anymore ~ full time (?) as Books Editor for The Stranger (great), I just saw after reading what he has up as his gmail message:♫ "You writer on Norwescon had no true clue as to what the con means to many people. I for one never found in one fucking in the bathrooms and so one. I notice he didn’t even discuss the writers panels or the costume panels. Your writer was very limited to his or her very of the con. You should have someone who has an opened mind attend the cons and not just one." and looking for the article about NorwesCon I supposed he wrote in response to which I supposed he got this message, yes seems so. dear always funny paul.
