IN STOCK - Man Seeking Woman (originally published as The Last Girlfriend on

Earth) by Simon Rich (ISBN 9780316385367 $15.00) "No matter how zany things get, there's an endearing simplicity at the heart of these inventive tales.... Love doesn't always conquer all, but these stories suggest Rich thinks it’s certainly ought to."--Daily Beast Love can be messy, painful, and even tragic. When seen through the eyes of Simon Rich it can also be hilarious. In these ingenious stories, Rich conjures up some unforgettable romances: an unused prophylactic describes life inside a teenage boy's wallet; God juggles the demands of his

needy girlfriend with the looming deadline for earth's creation; and a lovestruck Sherlock Holmes ignores all the clues that his girlfriend's been cheating on him. As enchanting, sweet, and absurd as love itself, these stories are an irresistible collection of delights.

by Rob Thomas, Jennifer Graham (ISBN 9780804170727 $14.95) The second book in Vintage's New York Times bestselling Veronica Mars mystery series, this time with a case that takes her back to one of Neptune's most murderous locations: The Neptune Grand. The Neptune Grand has always been Neptune's ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and sensationalized events that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and smuggled out and left for dead by its staff, the owners know that they have a problem on their hands. They turn to Veronica Mars-instead of her father and new partner, Keith-to help disprove the woman's story. It's true that something doesn't add up. While security footage clearly shows the woman entering the hotel, there is no evidence that she ever left; how did she end up in that field? And why? As Veronica digs deeper, and exposes a clientele that the hotel would rather not advertise, she finds herself on the trail of a mystery man known only as "Mr. Kiss and Tell."
