Black Rock Books

As always, we sell books!

The books you get to sell depends on whose house you go in!

[I am leaving 'depends' as a singular verb, considering 'the books you get to sell' as a single composite entity. (Today's sermon was based on....)]

From Karen's reading on Saturday 19 October.
It went well. Very well. Started just after 2. Karen read and answered questions until about 3.30. We finally closed the doors at 6.

Watch this space.

Tuhmawr.
Saturday 19 October

This Saturday.

Blue. Beautiful. World.

Karen Lord reading Saturday, October 19 at 2 pm

The usual excitement and satisfied joy.

[I think I got that right this time.]

Books!
What else is there to say?

Up next

At Black Rock Books --- Oct 19.

OK!
that empowering book, Let Me Liberate You, is back, signed.

It's author is inimitable and we're told we're lucky to have her.

thus is life and people

a lot of effort went into making a nice display and then people come and take the books and spoil it

so we had to do another one

some of the books

These were packed at the very bottom of the barrel and yet... there they were, very first things to appear. Right at the very top. A miracle.

All by the Black Rock Books Distinguished Scholar of the Year.

(with apologies to Frank Collymore)
Like all who live on Caribbean islands, I must always be shipping barrels.

Photo 1 - the barrel (which took a whole day in the port to clear)
Photo 2 - the contents of said barrel (clearly with more details to follow)

!!!!
Dear World Famous Caribbean Writer,
please and thank you, please ma'am. You is such a nice person.
(which would be certified, verified and affidavited by all who was there).!

Finally!
We proudly present...

The Inimitable Ingrid Persaud!
Reading and conversating.

Distinctly not to be missed.

Keep Sat 21 open for Ingrid Persaud at Black Rock Books.
Further titillating details to ensue.

My first response was CDs? Nobody in listening to cds no more. And then that sounded like received wisdom
So for everybody who still own a cd player or external drive, all ten of you, some really nice cds with music you are NOT going to hear on Spotify and the other capitalists.

Combermerians, look!

Advisory
These were brought in by the author. We had a long conversation, and she left with an inflated opinion of me.
I'm not saying you should question her judgement...

!!!
She took a whole pack of 20 because
I got 17 (and just as i was thinking she was going to say children) nieces and nephews.

This book is a a real bestseller. Out of 100 copies we have only 40 left.

As you know...
We sell books.

Last three photos - a discerning buyer, who also contributed the coffee and cookies. Thank you! It's nice to be appreciated.
Last photo - the ackee tree is flowering. We don't sell those.

You has trildrun? Any chirren? These giing way. Free.
You is welcome.

whether you like it or not

Just finished reading this justly revered book. Seminal, ground breaking, the whole pantheon of those words. And high in praise for Kamau and even more for Elsa Goveia.
