Staff Picks Shelf: Judge Me...

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

 

judgeme.JPG Everyone does it...

It is perfectly Normal...

Books have fallen victim to the 21st century's obsession with looks, a novelty in which was once judged by its content.  Even the professional book buyers at Indigo Bridge Books tend to look a little closer at the books with ingenious-crazy-AWESOME covers!!  If a book catches the customer's eye then they are more likely to pick it up and discover if anything of worth lies behind the artwork of the cover.  No worries here, at Indigo feel free to judge our books by their covers and know there is an adventure worth reading inside every one!!

 

Staff Picks Shelf: PUNdits!

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

img337.jpgFor the last few displays I've been in charge of here at Indigo, I've resorted to ludicrously easy stuff like orange books or books about "subjects". So, for my staff pick, I went all out with in-depth literary analysis that would knock the argyle socks off of some of those Ivy League geezers. I decided to gather a bunch of books by political commentators and make plays-on-words from their authors and titles, with the apt title of PUNdits! I spent a good hour on them, on the clock even. I think that would be my dream job! Here are some of my favorites:

Why type of math reveals an inconvenient truth?

"An Al-Gore rithm!"

 

Where do the CNN hosts eat?

"The Jack Cafferty-ria"

 

Who's going to do it?

"George Will" (The author is George Will. I think the beauty in this one is in its absurd simplicity.)

 

img338.jpgHere are my least favorites:

 

What kind of gun shoots "bu's"?

"A Pat Bu-cannon"

 

And then a really long drawn out one where the punchline is "Her? All dough!" like Geraldo Rivera.

A woman already commented on how she hated half of the titles. I think she might have hated the puns more.

 

A selection of titles from this week's new staff pick section: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, Darwin Slept Here, The Sixth Extinction, Coop, The Naked Pint, The World is Flat, Wild Fermentation, and Born to Run.

 

natepicks1.10.jpgCurl up by the fire with one of these stimulating works of literature and you may laugh, you may cry, but above all you will definitely learn yourself something along the way!  These aren't your daddy's dusty college textbooks! Want to travel in the footsteps of Darwin across South America or run 50 miles with an isolated tribe of superathletes?  Have you ever wanted to create your own home brewery, encounter the last surviving member of an entire species, or make a feature film about your life?  Crack the cover of any one of these titles and prepare to have your brain stretched, your worldview jolted, and your chances of winning that family game of Trivial Pursuit increased by approximately 117%*!
