King and Conroy
This one is going to make my wife very happy. We haven’t missed a Cassandra King signing yet. She’s even gone so far as to find a signed copy of Making Waves in Zion back when she was Cassandra King Ray and publishing with Black Belt Press. Well, here is a video of hubby Pat Conroy interviewing his wife about her latest book.

Local author sheds light on local liquor laws and history
Joe Coker, a Samford Religion professor, has turned his doctorial thesis into a book, Liquor in the Land of the Lost Cause: Southern White Evangelicals and the Prohibition Movement. (Nov2007/Univ. of Kentucky Press) It sounds very facinating as it looks at the history of the South’s view of alcohol and prohibition, through the lens of religion.
Black and White ran a short, but very informative Q&A with Coker. Coker is also on the calendar to sign and read from his book, at Jonathon Benton Bookseller on April 12th from 2p to 4p.
Cool bookshelf
I know, I know- this isn’t the most efficient use of space and I’m sure if a book were wide enough it would slant the spine. But I can not find the words to express how bad I want one of these…
