Last Wednesday, In This Rain, S.J. Rozan's new book, had its launch party at Partners & Crime Mystery Booksellers in New York. I called late that afternoon to order one and ask that it be inscribed. The book arrived today – packaged as if it were a signed first edition Hemingway. I am seriously impressed with the store's customer service and personnel.
I also found out a day and a half later that there were homemade brownies at the celebration. That book box had lots of room in it – I really missed a golden opportunity to try and score a couple of chocolate goodies. Drats!
My literary appetite made out especially well though.
