SIGNED FIRST EDITIONS CLUB
Politics & Prose has welcomed Nobel laureates and
Booker Prize winners, debut novelists and established stars in the
literary firmament. Now we’re offering you a chance to be a part of
literary history and build an impressive and irreplaceable library
through the P&P
Signed First Editions Club.
You might be familiar with our Book-A-Month
Gift Program, in which our booksellers hand-pick a monthly
gift for a reader in your life. Now you can sign up to have a first
edition, first printing of a newly released book delivered each month
directly to your - or your loved one's - doorstep. There is no
enrollment fee. The cost of each book ($35 or less, including shipping) is the only charge, which will be
processed every month when the books arrive at Politics & Prose. You
can save by choosing to collect your books in the store. The program is
available for six or twelve months at a time.
We will showcase novels and literary nonfiction from authors whom we
read and love, and who inspire us with contagious enthusiasm. This
program is a chance to collect and cherish these "first firsts" for
years to come.
We are excited to begin with Jonathan Franzen's new
book Freedom,
which Michiko Kakutani has endorsed wholeheartedly
with a glowing
review in the New York Times,
Jonathan Franzen’s galvanic new novel, "Freedom," showcases his impressive literary toolkit — every essential storytelling skill, plus plenty of bells and whistles — and his ability to throw open a big, Updikean picture window on American middle-class life. With this book, he’s not only created an unforgettable family, he’s also completed his own transformation from a sharp-elbowed, apocalyptic satirist focused on sending up the socio-economic-political plight of this country into a kind of 19th-century realist concerned with the public and private lives of his characters.
This fall’s tremendous selections are just the beginning. As a club member, every month you will continue to receive books of surpassing cultural importance and literary merit.
SEPTEMBER: Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $28)
OCTOBER: Great House, by Nicole Krauss (W.W. Norton, $24.95)

A FRIENDLY REMINDER
While visiting the bookstore, please keep an eye on your belongings. In recent weeks, a rash of thefts from unattended pocketbooks has plagued the neighborhood.
