Book: The Mishomis Book: The Voice of the Ojibway
$18.00
BK-MB
by Edward Benton Banai. The major intent of the Mishomis Book is to provide to the reader an accurate and undistorted account of the culture, history and philosophy of the Ojibway Nation so that people of all nations can also benefit from these teachings which have endured from antiquity. Eddie explains that this is the first book written in this manner, "from oral tradition, and I hope it is only the beginning. I firmly believe it is time for Indian people to come forward with teachings, prophecies and insight. It is time to talk with our Brothers and Sisters of other nations, colors and beliefs. The world family is at a time when ideas and philosophies of yesterday may be the key to the family future." Ages 8-14, 114 pages.

Book: Popco
$14.00
BK-PCO
a novel by Scarlett Thomas • 2005
PopCo tells the story of Alice Butler, a subversively smart girl in our commercial-soaked world, who grows from recluse orphan to burgeoning activist with a mission, buttressed by mystery, codes, math, and the sense that her grandparents gave her that she could change the world.
Alice, slight introvert, crossword compositor, works at PopCo, a globally successful and slightly sinister toy company...
From the author's Never Ending Interview: "It's mainly about a toy company and the process of developing a new idea in a remote, corporate 'thought camp.' But it's also about 17th century pirates, World War II, early computing, number theory, secret codes and ways of resisting authority. It's this crazy mix of things and I really hope it works.
Question: What kind of effect do you hope your books will have?
Occassionally I get e-mails from people who say that one of my books has made them look at the world in a slightly different way, or – even better – that the book has made them feel that they are not the only person experiencing lonliness or confusion or alienation. Getting an e-mail like that beats even the most brilliant review. In my books, it's OK to be a dreamer, to walk out of your job, to become a vegetarian, to try to start a revolution. I want my books to make people realise that these things are all completely OK... that they are desirable and logical in the world in which we live. On another level I want my books to make people think, 'huh?', to make the reader try to solve the puzzles (and there are lots of puzzles in PopCo) and to feel happy, at least on some level, at the end."
"No heroine this year was more beguiling than Alice in Scarlett Thomas's PopCo. This book might just change your life." - Independent On Sunday (London)
