Used Book Sale
Every year our supply
(oversupply) of used books gets larger.
We’re having a used book sale to try to
reduce our supply.
All used books will be 20% off,
whether you have a discount card or not.
The sale includes used paperbacks, used
hardcovers, used magazines, used
gaming books, and bagged books.
Because we have so many used
audiobooks, we will be selling all used
audiobooks at $5.00 each, whether
cassette or CD. The sale runs from
Friday, September 9 through Sunday,
September 18. That gives you two
weekends to take advantage of the sale.
This sale will be for customers
shopping in the store–it does not apply
to mail orders. If you’re thinking about
bringing in lots of used books to sell to
us during the sale, expect a longer than
normal wait.
How’s Business?
By Don Blyly
After a dreadful winter, the in-
store business has just about recovered
and the mail order business has gone up
substantially. When the Borders going-
out-of-business sales are over, I hope
that we’ll see more in-store business.
In addition to selling their
remaining inventory during the
bankruptcy sale, Borders plans to sell
their customer records, including e-mail
addresses and complete lists of every
book that every customer bought from
them (presumably, only for customers

The total collapse of Borders
has suddenly awoken the publishing
industry to the importance of the brick-
and-mortar stores as a “showroom” for
books. Decades ago, we’d have people
come into the store, look at the books on
our shelves for a long period of time
while taking notes, and then go to the
library to request the books that they
found interesting (but not interesting
enough to buy) at the Uncles. More
recently, we’ve had people come into the
store, look at the books on our shelves
for a long period of time to decide what
they wanted to order from Amazon.
Now, we have people come into the
store to look over the books on our
shelves to decide what they wanted to
buy as e-books. Because the publishing
industry does very little advertising, the
consumers’ primary source of
information about new titles comes from
the bookstores. They’ve finally figured
out that they are making money from
those people doing their book research
(but not book buying) at the Uncles.
Supposedly, the publishers are brain-
storming ideas about how they can help
the brick-and-mortar stores to stay in
business, so that we can continue to be
“showrooms for books”.
I was getting caught up on my
bills with the publishers and feeling
optimistic about perhaps being able to
pull a little cash from the business to
make some badly-needed repairs at
home. Then, on a Friday night about 4
weeks ago there was a loud sizzling
noise, followed by a loud thud, and the
air stopped moving at Uncle Hugo’s.
The next morning, I visited 3 hardware
stores before I found the right size fuses
for the rooftop air conditioner/furnace.
After I plugged in the new fuses, the air
started moving again. When I altered
the temperature setting to get some
cooling, the fuses blew again. On
Monday the repairman came out,
checked over the unit, and told me that
one of the two compressors had shorted
out. He had taken the bad compressor
out of the circuit, but found enough other
things that had gone bad or were about
to go bad that he suggested replacing the
17-year-old unit with a new, more
efficient model instead of putting
1-8 of the comic book adaptation of Baum's classic fantasy novel). . . . . . . . . . . . $19.99

struggled to maintain their parents' entitlement programs. But that day, a massive

Frohock, Teresa Miserere: An Autumn Tale (PBO; Exorcist Lucian Negru deserted his lover in Hell
thousands of dollars in repairs into such
an old unit with so many problems. A
sales engineer came out, looked over the
situation, and gave me three quotes:
about $5000 to repair the old unit, about
$10,000 to replace the old unit with a
new, more energy efficient unit of the
same size, or about $15,000 to replace
the old unit with a larger new unit with a
more powerful fan that would also
require replacing all the duct work above
the suspended ceilings. I went for the
middle bid, and the replacement unit was
installed last Friday.
Once again we had
lots more new titles than we had space
for in the paper newsletter. We had to
cut about half the listings. Most
paranormal romances, gaming related
items, action adventure series titles,
Doctor Who books, kids and young adult
novels, reissues, and non-fiction books
were either eliminated or had their
descriptions drastically shortened for the
paper newsletter, but full information is
on our website. There are also book
reviews at our website. Thanks to the
100 or so people who switched from the
paper newsletter to the electronic version
in the last 3 months. That will save us
about $400 per year in expenses.
Short Recommendations
by Don Blyly
Vernor Vinge’s A Fire Upon
the Deep ($8.99) came out in 1992 and
won the Hugo Award for Best Novel of
the year. It introduced a planet of dog-
like aliens that are intelligent in one way
as individuals and intelligent in a
different way when they form packs.
When a human spaceship crashes on the
planet while fleeing an interstellar war,
the children on the ship are at the not-so-
tender mercy of the medieval Tine.
After 19 years, we finally get the sequel,
The Children of the Sky($25.99,
October). I made the mistake of
assuming I’d remember enough of the
first book after 19 years to enjoy the
sequel. I did enjoy the sequel very
much, but I wish I had re-read A Fire
Upon the Deep before starting on the
sequel.
I’ve been impressed by
everything I’ve read by Michael Flynn,
but I’m puzzled by what his publisher
did with his latest two books. The
in exchange for saving his sister Catarina's soul, but Catarina doesn't want salvation. She
wants Lucian to help her fulfill her dark covenant with the Fallen Angels by using his power
to open the Hell Gates. Determined to rescue his lover, Lucian flees his sister, but Catarina's
wrath isn't so easy to escape!). ....................................... $14.99

Kessler, Liz Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister (Philippa Fisher #1: Kids; Philippa would like
January Dancer ($7.99) came out in
hardcover in October, 2008, but was not
released in paperback until July, 2011.
The sequel, Up Jim River ($7.99) came
out in hardcover in April, 2010 and in
paperback in February, 2011. Why put
the sequel out in paperback six months
before the first book? Fortunately, they
are written so that they can be read as
independent novels.
Thousands of years in the
future, mankind has spread through a
significant portion of the galaxy, but
faster than light travel has recently been
re-discovered after a dark age where
each planet developed its own culture.
Various factions are fighting for power
among the human worlds, and there are
powerful alien artifacts scattered about.
In The January Dancer, a tramp
freighter needs to make repairs near an
unnamed planet and the crew stumbles
onto an alien artifact of great power.
Soon, agents of various powerful
factions, plus a pirate fleet, are trying to
seize the artifact. Great space opera
results. In Up Jim River, the daughter
of one of the agents in The January
Dancer approaches an old man who was
another of the agents in The January
Dancer (and he might be her father) to
ask for his help in trying to find her
mother, who disappeared on a later
search for another alien artifact. Again,
great space opera results.
The Hundred Thousand
Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin ($7.99) is a
fantasy that has received lots of award
nominations, and deservedly so. In a
universe that once had 3 gods, and later
had many more gods as the first 3 gods
had kids, a war broke out among the 3
most powerful gods. Bright Itempas
won the war, killed Enefa (another of the
3 major gods), enslaved the other major
god and those of the kids who picked the
wrong side in the war. He decided that
the family of his chief priest among the
humans should rule the world, and he
passes control of the enslaved gods to
the ruling family to be used as weapons
to conquer the world. The story takes
place thousands of years later, when
Yeine Darr is called to the ruling city of
the world by her grandfather, the ruler of
the world. Yeine’s mother had been an
heiress of the ruling Arameri family, but
had abdicated and fled to another
continent to live what seemed to be an
ordinary life. Now, Yeine is named one
nothing more than to summon a fairy. Still, she is taken aback when Daisy, a new girl at
school, announces that she is Philippa's fairy godsister (since they're both the same age),
obliged to grant her human charge the customary three wishes. Now, if only Philippa would

having all sorts of internal conflicts over
this. This subplot is handled
intelligently without getting preachy and
without slowing down the primary plot.
A sequel, Honeyed Words ($14.99),
recently arrived, but I haven’t had a
chance to read it yet.
Land of the Dead ($7.99) by
Thomas Harlan is the third in the series
that began with Wasteland of Flint and
House of Reeds (neither currently in
print, but we often have used copies). In
this series, the Japanese and the Aztecs
united before the Europeans reached
Mexico and went on the conquer the
world and get into outer space, where
they discovered lots of alien races and
lots of strange alien artifacts that are
very dangerous. The first two novels are
very good space operas, but the third
book becomes military sf, as alien fleets
attack human ships to try to gain control
of a major alien artifact discovered and
being studied by the humans. The major
characters are present in all three books,
so it’s best to read them in order.
Monster Hunter Alpha

Polansky, Daniel Low Town (Drug dealers, hustlers, brothels, dirty politics, corrupt cops, and sorcery.
Welcome to Low Town. After a fall from grace five years ago, a man known as the Warden
Hunter International ($7.99, #1) and
Monster Hunter Vendetta ($7.99, #2)
have sold hundreds of copies at Uncle
Hugo’s, and Monster Hunter Alpha
will clearly be our #1 seller for the
month of August.
There are monsters out there,
but the government doesn’t want the
population to know about them. So, the
government pays bounties on dead
monsters to various Blackwater-like
groups of monster hunters, of which
Monster Hunter International is the best.
The government also has a department
for tracking monsters, doing cover-ups
when monster attacked take place, and
intimidating witnesses into keeping quiet
about what really happened.
In Monster Hunter Alpha Earl
Harbinger, the head of Monster Hunter
International, takes some vacation time
and heads for the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan. He’s been tipped off that
Nikolai, a Russian werewolf that Earl
has been fighting since the Vietnam
War, is planning an attack on a small
town in the U.P., and Earl plans to stop
him. But some other baddies have
mislead both Earl and Nikolai into
coming to the U.P. as part of their plot to
wipe out the entire town and seize
magical power. While there are some
very funny lines in Alpha, it isn’t as
funny as the first two books. It is more
tightly plotted, and at the end sets up the
next in the series.
I really enjoyed Sandman Slim
($7.99, signed copies available) and Kill
the Dead ($7.99), and I was delighted to
receive an advance reading copy of
Aloha From Hell ($23.99, due mid-
October), the third in the Sandman Slim
series. God’s on vacation, Lucifer has
moved back to Heaven, an insane killer
has taken over Hell and plans a war
between Heaven and Hell that will
destroy the universe, and Stark (aka
Sandman Slim) has a lot of work to do to
save the day. While I enjoyed Aloha
From Hell, I didn’t enjoy it quite as
much as the first two novels. That might
be partly because on the terrible proof-
reading of the advance reading copy, but
I think it’s also because Stark’s
snarkiness in the first two books was
primarily directed towards a bunch of
very interesting characters, while in the
latest book much of his snarkiness is
directed towards himself, with the other
characters being much less interesting.
