July 23, 2008The folks over at Frontburner, who love to lob rhetorical hand grenades on all things Dallas and, frequently, base their commentary on actual facts, have pulled together a ranking of Dallas bookstores. As much as I enjoy the people who work at them, I've always thought that the corporate sameness of many of the Dallas stores makes such a comparison almost pointless. But any talk about Dallas bookstores is a good talk as far as I'm concerned. And the long list of comments from readers about stores of days gone by is worth the click. (And if you're hungry for more on Dallas bookstores, see our previous discussions on Half-Price Books, Legacy Books and Recycled Books.)  Comments (0) Leave comment

News first: Philippa Gregory is headed to town to discuss and sign The Other Queen I'm posting early notice for a couple of reasons. First, she brought the house down when I saw her at BookExpo America. Granted, she won't have Alec Baldwin as a punching bag this time. But as I recall, she drew maybe 1,000 people on her last visit to town. So I imagine she'll do fine without him. Second -- and here is the interesting bit -- she's been scheduled at the exact time that Garrison Keillor, who famously dissed the HPUMC crowd last time around, will be appearing at Unity Church of Dallas. It's too far-fetched to suspect a plot. Isn't it? Comments (0) Leave comment
