Shakespeare in Seattle

When you stop to think, it’s odd to celebrate the day a person, however famous, shuffled off this mortal coil.

There are any number of commemorative activities underway where …

Back to School at Island Books

It’s autumn, and students are returning to the store in droves, like swallows to Capistrano.

Once a manuscript is completed—no rapid thing itself—it can take months or even years for it to be accepted, edited, scheduled, printed, and distributed.
