Hi everyone!
It's been a long time since we last wrote to you, but with the holidays coming up, we thought we're send a quick reminder about your and our favorite writer. There's not much new to report, except to say keep a lookout for the brand-new trade paperback edition of A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR, coming from Ballantine Books on August 3, 2004.
Now, for the real reason we're writing: we love John Irving so much that we almost always give his books as presents to family members and friends. Hardcover and trade paperback, we're got his best stuff available, bar none. So, see below for our suggestions on how to best give Irving as a holiday gift this season.
Happy holidays!
Your guide, Allison
