Figuratively: seeing one or two daily Bay State plates.
Literally: pretending gradually this will all come back.

It's like this: Salt Publishing is having a sale.

ENJOY NEW TITLES, GREAT PRICES AND BIG DISCOUNTS AT THE SALT WEB

We’ve been busy launching some great new titles, and lining things up for the rest of the summer. To celebrate the next round of the World Cup we’ve decided to launch a new bookstore in the USA and relaunch our old shop at the same time. As a result we’ve got some great special offers for you:

• 20% discount on all Salt titles, every day of the year
  
• 40% discount on selected Salt backlist titles, offer expires July 31st
  
• 50% off three Staff picks, offer expires July 31st
  
• As always, free postage on orders over £30 or $30

People keep making them, and I keep distrusting institutions.

(some of) ADAM'S JUNE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1.
Plans are being made for a grand Grand Opening sometime mid-August. With copious food, music, wine and famous authors reading aloud, etc. Please set aside mid-August on your calendars, and watch this space for details.

2.
You are receiving this newsletter because I think you signed up for it. If you wish to unsubscribe, let me know and I'll take you off the list.

3.
Next week we start getting magazines. The week after that: daily newspapers.

4.
I am continually opening boxes of used books gathered from my latest road trip, and finding unusual things inside. Lots of good poetry, public scholarship, photography, modernist fiction and strange objects of yesteryear are accumulating on the shelves as I unpack....

5.
20% OFF ALL NEW KIDS BOOKS ALWAYS. We have moved the new kids books to the front of the store, so you don't have to push your large stroller through the narrow maze in back.

6.
A baby peregrine falcon visited the tree immediately outside the store. It sat there all day friday, not much bigger than a starling itself, eying the starlings hungrily.

7.
If you want a book that we don't carry, I'll order it for you. And I'll give you 20% off.

8.
We will gladly mail you a book, if you pay for the shipping.

9.
We are about to place a large order that will more than double the number of NEW BOOKS in the store. Our new books section is beginning to fill itself out, cover more ground, meet your more various needs. By the time autumn falls, we will have a full selection — the newest new books and the baddest backlist — you'll need never shop anywhere else.

Friday Night

One of my favorite reference books ever, Jonathan Green's peerless Dictionary of Slang, has been banned by a North Carolina school district, tellingly under pressure from a local Christian activist group named Called2Action.

How vulgar and offensive is that?

I'm not using gift as a verb. I'm not.

Jacket Book Reviews: Unassigned list

Jacket say: There are 179 books forlornly awaiting the kind attention of a reviewer. If you have an aperçu, a spare jeu d'esprit, or a jigger of persiflage in need of an admiring audience, drop by and peruse the crop.

So do. Banes say: Es lohnt sich!

UGLY DUCKLING PRESSE
LOST LITERATURE SERIES #1

On the one hand, for example, the dangerous precedent that is Senator Rick Santorum. On the other hand — just off the top of my head — the pleasant surprises from Ugly Duckling Presse.
