Featured Breadpig Bookseller: Bookshop Santa Cruz Loves xkcd

Posted by admin on

We received these photos from Bookshop Santa Cruz, an independent bookseller (rocking since 1966!) that's been featuring the breadpig-published xkcd: volume 0 for the last couple of months.

Not only has it been a best-seller (there are evidently quite a few well-tanned geeks in Santa Cruz) but an employee there wrote up a 'shelf talker' for the book, which you can see pictured here and has been transcribed below for your reading delight.

XKCD by Randall Munroe
If you’re not an avid XKCD reader, or haven’t been forwarded one of these fantastic web-comics by a friend, now’s your chance to get in on one of the smartest, nerdiest and most romantic online comic strips.  Munroe’s long-running comic has finally been compiled into one book, so you can revisit your favorite strips, discover one you might have missed, or become a newly converted fan.—KMS

Breadpig loves independent booksellers [see our entry on Borderlandands Books -- first bookstore in the universe to carry xkcd: volume 0] and we're working on a great way to show off that love that should also be a handy tool for all of you xkcd fans. In the meantime, we're happy to spotlight some outstanding indies who've really gone above and beyond for this book (and their customers who are demanding it).

  • For the last four years, a new fashion trend has been sweeping the nation. Some have embraced it while others are amazed and confused by its success. This fashion trend is known as the Ugg boot. Although somewhat unconventional in appearance, Uggs has gained a huge following among all social groups and ages. Besides the fact that they are extremely trendy, it’s their incredible ability to keep feet warm in the bitterest cold of conditions who makes these boots so popular.
