A gaggle of geese. A pack of dogs. A pod of whales. Over at PhiloBiblos they are wondering what do you call a group of librarians?

***Sadly this bookstore closed up in 2016. I’m leaving this post up as an archive ***
I stumbled across a used bookstore over in the Irondale area of town, so I thought I’d share. It’s called Doggone Books and enjoys the fortuitous traffic-inducing location of being two doors down from the Whistlestop Cafe (yes, THAT Whistlestop Cafe).
The new (supposedly expanded) edition of Don Tapscott’s Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything comes out April 17th! I’m not sure how much expansion they could do from the first edition, unless they just update the case studies. There has been so much in the past 18 months will social and group-think sites, that it has become obvious, to even the most stuck-in-the-mud businesses, that collaboration is the future.
Let me know if you run across any advance reviews out there. I’d like to read them and see if the new edition is worth buying.
I just read that Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union will be adapted to film by the Coen brothers.
I also just read in the latest issue of Bookmarks magazine that Chabon has a non-fiction book hitting the stores in March.
