News
CODY'S BOOKS TO OPEN IN SF
A long-standing landmark in Berkeley, Cody's Books ( http://www.codysbooks.com
) is coming to San Francisco, where they'll be going head-to-head with Borders
Books on Union Square. The new location will open in August at the corner
of Stockton St. at Market, right across the street from the Apple store and
next door to the Virgin MegaStore. It's an interesting change from the pattern
of the last decade in which chain stores would stake out prime locations
and contribute to the demise of local independents. Only time will tell
if it's possible for an independent to turn the tables.
LISA GOLDSTEIN, REVEALS A DEEP, DARK SECRET
(Well, maybe not so dark, but definitely a secret.) In her newsletter Lisa writes:
"As some of you on this mailing list know, this past year I published a novel
under a pseudonym. I promised several people on the list that I would tell
them my pseudonym before the hardcover went out of print. Since the paperback
is coming out in March, I figure now is the time. The book is DAUGHTER OF
EXILE, and my pseudonym is Isabel Glass (I borrowed the name Isabel from
Point Isabel, the dog park where I walk my dog).
My editor wanted me to use a pseudonym for DAUGHTER OF EXILE because it's
a little different from other books I've written. In this novel, I wanted
to write something ambitious that reached back to the roots of high fantasy
myths, folktales, and stories of people coming into power and responsibility.
Naturally the book was labeled "Romantic Fantasy." Because of that, reviewers
more or less ignored it. (There were a few brave, notable exceptions. Patricia
McKillip called it "an intriguing and fast-paced journey," which made me
very happy. Kirkus Review described it as "ingeniously plotted, tellingly
detailed.")
Currently, DAUGHTER OF EXILE is available in hardcover. The paperback will
be out in March. And in July, THE DIVIDED CROWN, a second novel by Isabel
Glass, will be coming out in hardcover."
(From the Brazen Hussies Newsletter - News from Lisa Goldstein, Michaela Roessner, and Pat Murphy)
JACK CHALKER DIES
Prolific science fiction author Jack L. Chalker passed away Friday, February
11th. Chalker published over 60 science fiction or fantasy novels and anthologies,
and was nominated for the Hugo Award 4 times. Click here to read SWFA's
obituary: ( http://www.sfwa.org/News/jchalker.htm ).
From The OfficeLast month we asked you all a number of questions
about changes that we've been considering making at the store. When
I sent those questions out I wasn't expecting the number of replies that
we got nor was I expecting the sheer number of great suggestions that people
had to give. However, the biggest and most pleasant surprise were all
the kind and complimentary things that people had to say about us.
It really gave everyone on the staff a big smile and a great sense of satisfaction
that so many of you like what we're doing.
One customer commented that they would really like to see the results of
the survey (if one can dignify it with such an official term). I think
that feeling may be shared by a few of you and so I'm going to include it
here. I'm not going to include all the suggestions that were sent because
they would take too much space to list, but I am going to list the ones that
multiple people made.
At total of 40 people replied to the survey.
On the subject of the mylar dust jacket covers ("Brodarts", as we call them
around here) the majority of people said they would miss them if we stopped
putting them on (27 out of 40). 10 people said that they didn't care
one way or the other and 2 people said that they actively disliked them.
I asked the people who like the covers an additional question, which was
how they would feel if we put them on by request when the book was sold and
16 people of the 27 said that would be OK with them.
On the question of whether we should offer free wireless internet access,
15 people said yes and 7 said no. One interesting thing is that 6 of
the people who said no mentioned a concern that people would take advantage
of the access, fill up the (admittedly scant) seating at the store, and make
it difficult for people who were shopping. Though I hadn't thought
of it, this seems a valid concern.
As to whether we should keep stocking jewelry replies were mixed with 12 saying no and 9 yes.
On the topic of continuing to carry DVDs, people were more clear with 16
in favor and 7 against. Likewise, the idea of stocking Anime was supported
by 15 people and opposed by 7.
The question of extending our hours and where to extend them netted a number
of different answers which I'll list in order of popularity and with the
number of votes to the right of the suggestion -
Stay open later on weekends - 11
Stay open later in general - 7
Open earlier in general - 5
Open earlier on the weekends - 4
Open earlier and stay open later in general - 3
Stay open later on an occasional basis - 2
Open earlier and stay open later on the weekends - 1
Stay open later on weekdays - 1
And 6 people thought that our hours were fine as they are. That, as they say, is what makes horse races.
Now we move on to the suggestions. The number of people who made each
suggestion appears in parentheses after the suggestion.
Stock more obscure DVD titles and build a deeper selection of DVDs (4)
Stock more magazines (4)
Have coffee and tea year round (i.e. not just during the holidays) and charge a small fee (or request a donation) (4)
Set up a publicly accessible computer terminal to search books-in-print and our store inventory (3)
Have more shelf cards indicating staff suggestions (3)
Make the staff recommendation section more obvious / expand it (3)
Make top ten lists of sub-genre titles like Hard SF, Extreme Horror, Urban Fantasy, GLBT, etc. (2)
Expand the seating area at the back of the store (2)
And my favorite . . . More hairless cats (2)
In closing, though a small business is far from a democracy, it's very important
to me that we give you what you want. Some of the items on this survey
may be impossible due to financial or time constraints and some of them may
turn out to be unworkable for other reasons but you can expect to see some
changes at Borderlands over the next year. I want to thank everyone
who took the time to share their opinions and ideas with me. You've
made my job so much easier.
Best,
Alan Beatts

on Cops in the Future (time TBA but probably sometime in the am). For
more info about Potlatch, see ( http://www.potlatch-sf.org/ ).

GAME and THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME - Everyone at Borderlands is really
excited that THE GRAVEYARD GAME (the fourth of Kage's "Company" novels) is
back in print and even more excited to host a reading with her. The
"Company" novels, which detail the exploits of the immortal cyborg operatives
of the shadowy Dr. Zeus company, are some of the best time-travel novels
that we've ever run across. In THE GRAVEYARD GAME, the reader starts
to discover the larger shape of the Company's operations and discovers just
how ruthless they are and THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME delves even deeper
into the Company's secrets.

Mark Scott Zicree for a reading and signing of the third novel in his Magic
Time series. What would happen if one day all the machines stopped
working and magic came back into the world? That's the premise for
the Magic Time books and it's bound to appeal to fans of the Bordertown series
and Charles de Lint's work.
Sunday, March 27th at 2 PM, Frank Robinson presentation on the history of
the pulp magazine. - Modern Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy truly began
with the pulp magazines of the early 20th century. This was where writers
like Lovecraft, Howard, Heinlein, and Asimov got their starts and in many
ways, the history of the pulps is the history of the first half of these
genres.
Though best known as the author of numerous novels (most recently THE DONOR),
Frank is also one of the world's foremost experts on the pulp magazine of
the 1910s to 1940s. He also has one of the finest collections in the
United States. On Sunday he'll be giving an informal presentation on
the history of the pulps as well as bringing some gems from his personal
collection. Don't miss this rare opportunity if you are a collector
(or have ever thought of collecting pulps) or, for that matter, if you are
interested in the history of the SF, Horror, and Fantasy field.
Tuesday, March 29th - Sunday, April 3rd, Fearless Tales Genre Fest - Borderlands
is a proud sponsor of the Fearless Tales Genre Film Festival. In this,

discussions. This year's recipient of the Fearless Vision award is
John Landis, who will be on hand Friday evening for a screening of his classic
AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and will be giving a rare on stage interview
followed by a Q & A session. For more information, see ( http://www.fearlesstales.com/site/ ). Borderlands event policy - all events are free of charge. You are welcome

YEAR OF OUR WAR by Steph Swainston (Eos, Trade Paperback, $13.95) - Jude
swears that she already wrote a review for this book, but since she can't
locate it, here goes again. . ."This is the newest book that I'm recommending
to China Mieville fans desperate for some more 'new weird'. And boy,
is it weird. Winged (and flying) messenger and drug addict Jant Shira,
also known as Comet, navigates a twisted warren of his own complex desires
and others' politics. It's really too complicated to go into in depth,
but basically there is a small group of Immortals helping humanity fight
a centuries-old war against the mindless, creepy, ruthless, human-sized insect
enemy. These Immortals are not invulnerable; they can be killed, or
worse, they can have their immortality revoked by the Emperor who gave it
them in the first place. Comet euthanizes the dying King with an overdose
of Comet's drug of choice, cat, which is apparently the fantasy novel version
of heroin with hallucinogenic properties. This sends the King to the
alternate Place that overdoses end up . . . also the place that Comet visits
when he's done too much . . . but since Comet's immortal, he gets to come
back. This whole other world may or may not be a hallucination, but
as the book continues, it seems that perhaps there is a leak from one world
to another. I haven't space to describe all the machinations and political
infighting of this sprawling and quite extraordinary novel, and really, you
don't need to hear me re-tell it. The book does have some first novel
problems, not the least of which is a drop-you-off-a-cliff-what-the-heck-just-happened?-ending,
but fortunately, there will be a sequel later this year." Recommended by
Jude and Jeremy.
