Had to look twice when I saw this book at my local B&N.
Does anyone see the irony in this?
So is The Nook Book available on the Nook? Can you get The Nook Book for Kindle via Amazon?

If it fits on a bookshelf, it fits here.

In my most recent "day job," I was the sports and features editor for a weekly New Jersey newspaper, where I hosted another blog. Busy, busy, busy.
I did a profile piece on the award-winning cartoonist Arnold Roth and he was nice enough to "immortalize" me.

Most recent books read updated 3/20/24:
The Body Scout, by Lincoln Michel
Grade: C. Perhaps the ultimate performance enhancers -- interchangeable body parts -- help major leaguers of the future. But, as with all of these things, there's a price to pay.
Cardboard Gods: An All-American Tale Told Through Baseball Cards, by Josh Wilker
Grade: A. Re-read in preparation for a Bookshelf Conversation with the author. Had a deeper meaning than when I first read it more than a decade ago.
No Crying in Baseball: The Inside Story of A League of Their Own: Big Stars, Dugout Drama, and a Home Run for Hollywood , by Erin Carlson
Grade: B-. A bit too much about director Penny Marshall. Could have used more info about thew actual filming of the movie. Not enough about the "lesbian issue," but that might be for a different book.

I work at a B&N, and here’s the deal with that. It’s for people kind of scared to use e-readers (because the nook has a full instruction manual on it as an e-book), so they get the book, too. But yes, it is actually available as an e-book, even the Kindle (which would have taken about 6 seconds of Googling to find out).
