Great News out of Newtonville...

Tim Huggins, owner of Newtonville Books, should give lessons on how to run a successful, indie bookstore. This is from his newsletter, telling about his newest venture:
"At the store, something very exciting started happening last month. In
cooperation with the Boston Globe and iTunes, Newtonville Books is now
part of the new Great Writers podcast series on Boston.com. Each week, the
Globe is digitally recording an event from the Books & Brews series and
posting it in the Podcasts section of Boston.com (look for the link in the
upper-right-hand corner of the Boston.com home page). You can even
subscribe to the series and have it delivered to your computer or iPod
every week automatically through iTunes. So far, events available for
digital listening include Rachel Sherman and Ben Fountain, Nell
Freudenberger, and Katherine Weber. New events are posted every Friday,
and past events are available at the Books page on Boston.com at
http://www.boston.com/ae/books. Go hear what you've been missing and make
plans to hear it live when you can."

Of course, it's always more fun if you can hear a reading done live, and maybe join the author for a beer afterwards. Tim's Books & Brews series is the answer.
