This just in: Our books can now be found on the shelves at Quimby’s Bookstore in Chicago.

If you don’t know Quimby’s, the folks there describe themselves as

“an independently owned bookstore that sells independently-published and small press books, comics, zines and ephemera. We favor the unusual, the aberrant, the saucy and the lowbrow.”

Which is to say, we feel most comfortable there, among the trove of wonderful zines and independent comics.

Perhaps it is important to admit that our books have been at Quimby’s for the better part of two years now. But this is the first time we have secured photographic evidence. The photo above (and the photo below) come courtesy Tilly Pelczar, painter, drawer, printmaker, maker of books, and subscriber extraordinaire.

You other subscribers may recognize Tilly as the winner of the most recent contest.

We will endeavor to make a trek to Quimby’s to visit our books in February when we travel to Chicago for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs conference.

Alden and Kato will be staying home (to watch Iggy and the cats), but this year’s AWP will be August’s literary debut. For those of you who only come here for the baby pictures, here’s the little man, six weeks old and (seemingly) looking forward to more.
