In the basement
the had shelves labeled as Reviewed Books, what does that mean? They were
all recent hardbacks. I was looking for Banks first. There were two of his
books, Look to Windward which I just read, and The Business which I don't
want to read yet.
Books sent to reviewers. some will sell them to places like the Strand. I have friends who work at the NY Times. Books and tapes flood in to the paper. So they are left on a table for whoever wants them. I am sure that this (not necessarily from the Times) is the source of the books.
