One of the things that makes me very happy about my bookstore is that it contains a book by Ursula K. Le Guin. Normally, of course, Le Guin gets published by the big multi-national companies who put DRM on their books and don’t want anything to do with little stores like mine. When it comes to non-fiction, however, even the greatest authors don’t always get big deals. Cheek by Jowl, “a collection of talks and essays on how and why fantasy matters”, is published by Aqueduct Press, and so we have it in store. And it is just been short-listed for a Mythopoeic Award.
