In other words they are new to us, but not new to everyone. We keep them on the shelf for a shorten time than the new releases. They’re there to alert you that we have them in the collection where he hadn’t before.

- Mister monkey by Francine Prose. I was worried no one in Jackson would go for this, but everytime I read the plot summary I think it’s too interesting to pass on. It follows the actors in a small production children’s musical. Sounds irreverent. I’m always interested in fiction that offers a glimpse into a world I will never enter – like actors! It releases on 10/18, then find it at F PRO.
