It's sometimes hard to know if email from an unfamiliar address is spam or not. It will help me realize you're not trying to sell pharmaceuticals if your email's subject heading includes mail from brianfloca.com. Thank you!

 

Signed books: Signed and personalized books are available through my neighborhood bookstore, Books Are Magic. You can order online through the store's web site, here, or call the store at (718) 246-2665. Please place your order with the Smith Street location. Books Are Magic will let me know when your order is in, and usually within a day or two I'll be able to swing by the store with pen in hand. (This is made easy for me by Books Are Magic being located halfway between my apartment and my studio.) Books Are Magic will then ship the book directly to you.

 

It's a pleasure to note that other great independent bookstores in Brooklyn include Community Bookstore, Greenlight Bookstore, Powerhouse on 8th, Stories Bookshop + Storytelling Lab, and Word, and then on that other island, across the East River, there is Books of Wonder, and more. Moral of the story? Shop local!

 

Review copies: Reviewers requesting a review copy of an Atheneum/Simon & Schuster title, please contact ChildrensPublicity (at) simonandschuster.com.
