Wordsmiths's Blurbs

About me:
Wordsmiths Books was conceived in the late part of 2006, began operation as an online and author-events capacity in January of 2007, and opened the doors of its brick-and-mortar (actually marble) retail bookstore on June 15, 2007. With 3,000 square feet of books (and an inventory carrying all but children's books, as that niche is served to a perfect capacity by the neighboring Little Shop Of Stories), a cafe, stage area for author events, film showings, musical events and more, and a reading room/art gallery, Wordsmiths Books is where you want to shop AND spend the day.

BUT WAIT: we also have free on-site parking and free wi-fi. Also: find us on twitter and we're on AIM. add WORDSMITHSBOOKS to your buddy list.

Who I'd like to meet:
Book aficionados, young and old.

Becky Anderson, author	Jan 16 2008 9:45 AM Thanks for the add! I hope you will add my book to your shelves-- IN STEREO WHERE AVAILABLE got a great review from Library Journal!

philopatrios	Jan 10 2008 12:21 AM Highly recommended, concludes review of DIVERTING THE BUDDHA, the novel about the trashing of democracy by America’s political elites “Bob Swartzel writes with authority about military and corporate matters and his description of the Buddhist temples is excellent. By the middle of the book, the reader is sucked into this story like the boots of the soldiers who must patrol constantly watching for the enemy and never trusting anyone. Because of this authenticity, the reader is plunged deeply into the destructive atmosphere that was Vietnam. We feel the mud and smell the blood of the dead bodies. I highly recommend this book for all people who would like to know the real story of the war in Vietnam. It truly shows the effect that a war can have on any country and on its institutions.” Muse Book Reviews, reviewed by Barbara Ehrentreu

The Smoking Poet	Sep 11 2007 6:30 PM THE SMOKING POET: FALL 2007 – ONLINE NOW! Life is growth. To stop growing is to stop living. The same principle applies to a literary ezine. It, too, is a living being, breathing new life with each and every submission that is chosen to appear in these pages. And surely this issue – our fourth – is breathing deeply! The voices here are many and diverse. Each one has given a breath of life to these pages, and we invite you to witness that life, allow it to move you, make you think and feel and perhaps do a bit of growing, too. Author Interview with Paul Levinson Feature Poet: Aberjhani Poetry, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Book Reviews, Cigar Reviews, and more at THE SMOKING POET. .

The Suss-Man	Dec 27 2006 6:15 PM It took so long to add a photo because I'm scared of technology. And I didn't see how that would make us money.
