So, we went to Barnes & Noble this weekend but I was too late for the Classics sale. Darn. But, all was not lost as we spent a very nice evening checking out some magazines and buying books.
First, has anyone read A Public Space? We were getting ready to leave when I saw this literary journal so I didn’t have time to check it out but thought I’d ask you guys.
I saw that Rubber Stamp Madness, a magazine I go to to find out about new products, is now only publishing four times a year. It’s sad to see magazines pulling back on their publication schedule, or worse yet, shutting down. Has one of your favorites stopped publication?
Anyway, here are my super deals I found – each book was $1!
A Commissario Brunetti novel, Malinche by Laura Esquivel, A Factory of Cunning by Philppa Stockley, The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig and Leaving Home by Anita Brookner. Woot!
That’s a great deal!! 🙂
Wow, a book for $1! That’s indeed a great deal! 🙂
Bargain! 🙂
Great finds! I’m very curious about Malinche in particular.
It always makes me sad when magazines stop publishing or pull back. Unless, of course, they are literary ones and rant and rave about how book bloggers are to blame 😛
Oh great deals! Have fun with your new books.
One of my favorite magazine, Simple Scrapbooks, is ceasing publication. It’s too bad we have to lose our favortie magazines.
Now, that is a great investment!
Wow! Looks like some good loot.
Good work on the bargain books! Made up for missing the classics sale. I missed the sale too, but since my shelves are already bulging with unread B&N classics, it is probably just as well 🙂
Several of my friends were sad to see the demise of Domino.
Bargain Hardbacks for $1!!
Wow, the economy must be bad. And these are great authors!
New books for $1 each? You’ve got a great deal there. At least you’re spending money. 🙂
My only magazine subscription is National Geographic. But the old subscriptions are all frantically calling me about renewal for a deal.
Wonderful bargains….!!
A dollar!?! That’s awesome! Happy reading!
I have not heard of A Public Space. let me know how you like it. Looks like you got some great deals.
Wow – great deals!
Great finds! Look forward to your reviews! I have been studying about the fall of magazines and newspapers.. They are trying to post all their articles online and have been relying on ad revenue, but this is not giving them the money they need. Soon enough there will be another business model that will save them, although the days of traditional magazines are numbered, there will be something like a micro-payment system which might be the standard for all content all over the Internet.
Nymeth – True, we don’t mind about those 😉
Stefanie – Yea, like I need more classics to hoard too but you know how that is 🙂
Matt – I’m helping the economy right? 🙂
Serena – Next time I go, I’ll try to remember to check it out a bit more!
Bookster – you know, someone else was telling me about micro-payments for magazine articles too. that must be something that’s a becoming a bigger deal. I’ve noticed that Ready Made magazine is already doing an online subscription and a couple of others. I think that is neat but wish the magazines wouldn’t have to go away either.
I think things are moving to ereaders – both cell phones and kindle-type.
Great finds!
I will miss Domino magazine terribly.
What a bargain! I’d love to read A Factory of Cunning–am very curious to hear what you think. And I have that same Anita Brookner to read sometime…
