How’s Business?
By Don Blyly
This has been a really nasty
winter, and that has hurt sales a lot.
November in-store sales were up a little
from the year before, but December was
down a lot, January was down even
more, and February looks like it will also
be down a lot. It’s just been too difficult
for many people to get around.
Fortunately, mail order has been more
stable than in-store sales, but it’s still
been rough. And our 3 year old furnace
that has been malfunctioning on subzero
mornings has made things more
miserable. When I come in early to work
on stuff hours before opening the store,
I find it challenging to use the keyboard
on the computer when the temperature is
54 degrees (with the thermostat set at
70). The furnace starts functioning
around opening time, and the
temperature starts getting comfortable
about the time UPS pulls up with 15
cases of books–which have been setting
on the truck at below zero temperatures
for hours before being delivered. Such
a nasty winter.
I suppose I should be happy
about Uncle Hugo’s 40th Anniversary,
but I’ve really been looking forward for
years to Uncle Hugo’s 50th Anniversary,
so that I could use the line “Bringing you
the future for half a century!” I’m
becoming skeptical that we’ll last that
long. We should still be around for a
few more years, but our sales just keep
going downhill (much more rapidly this
winter than usual). Fortunately, the
percentage of business coming from
used books keeps increasing, and the
profit margin is better and the cost of
carrying inventory is lower on the used
books, so the bills keep getting paid.
And I find myself going downhill, too.
Sometimes after a 13 hour day at the
store, I’m too tired to do much when I
get home, which didn’t used to happen.
Naturally, I’ve been trying to think of
how the store could go on when I can no
longer put in 70 hours a week here, but
anybody who could afford to buy the
store could get a much better return on
their money elsewhere.
I’ll mention a couple of things
coming up after the period covered by
this newsletter. Jim Butcher’s next
Dresden Files book, Skin Game, is
coming in early June, and we have
her boyfriend from zombism is rumored to live in the swamps outside New Orleans, but city talker

Orleans travel guide?).....................................................$15.00
Lee, Sharon/Miller, Steve Necessity's Child (Liaden: The kompani sees none as enemy, and yet few as friend, living quietly

itself with vigor, and teaching even its youngest children the art of war. When representatives of Clan
Korval arrive on the planet Surebleak where the kompani has lived secret and aloof, it seems to the
kompani that they are borne by the winds of change, and that their plans may bring catastrophe,
changing the culture, and the kompani, forever. There, the lives of three people intersect: Kezzi,
apprentice to the kompani's grandmother; Syl Vor, Clan Korval's youngest warrior; and Rys, a man
without a world, or a past)..................................................$7.99

Short Recommendation
by Don Blyly
Ancillary Justice by Ann
Leckie ($15.00) is set in the distant
future. Humans have spread through
much of the galaxy, and culturally
diverged on their various planets. A
couple of thousand years ago, the Radch
started conquering the human portion of
the galaxy, sending in the troops to
“annex” planets, “civilize” them (force
them into the Radch cultural mode), and
then grant citizenship to the survivors.
Most of the troops are “ancillaries”,
human resisters from previously
“annexed” planets who have been brain-
wiped and augmented so that they can be
controlled by the AI that runs the troop
ship, but there are some regular human
officers mixed in. To control such a
huge empire, the ruler has cloned
herself, and the various clones roam the
empire, micromanaging things. But over
the centuries, the clones have started
having differing ideas about the way the
empire should be run, resulting in a very
strange civil war within the empire.
Everybody, human or AI, must obey the
commands of any clone of the ruler, but
the commands from the different clones
are often at cross purposes.
The main character is
sometimes known as Breq. She was
once the AI that ran the troop ship
Justice of Toren, and she would
simultaneously run companies of
ancillaries, seeing through 20 sets of
eyes at once, firing 20 weapons at once,
obeying the commands of the human
company commander, and she could
handle many companies at the same
time. But she downloaded part of
herself into a single ancillary named
Breq and fled the empire. She has been
discovering that many things are not the
way she was programmed to believe they
were. She is determined to gain control
of a secret weapon, return to the empire,
and end the civil war. Highly
recommended.
