Largehearted WORD Books of the Week - November 3, 2010
In the Largehearted Word series, the staff of Brooklyn's WORD bookstore highlights several new books released this week.
WORD is an independent neighborhood bookstore in Greenpoint, the northernmost neighborhood of Brooklyn, that celebrated its third anniversary this March. Our primary goal is to be whatever our community needs us to be, which currently means carrying a lot of paperback fiction (especially classics), cookbooks, board books, and absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). We're a small operation, just 1000 square feet and four people, but we read too much, so it all works out. If a weekly dose of WORD here isn't enough for you, follow us on Twitter: @wordbrooklyn.
Beg, Borrow, Steal: A Writer's Life
by Michael Greenberg
Paperback release of one of Stephanie's favorite memoirs of last year, a beautiful collections of vignettes.
The Complete Stories of J.G. Ballard

Apparently it's short stories we love week here at WORD! This one is a no-brainer.
India Cookbook: The Only Book On Indian Food You'll Ever Need

Another brilliant and authoritative cookbook from the geniuses at Phaidon. (Plus it comes in a cute little bag!)
Too Much Happiness

Another long-awaited paperback release, from the modern master of the short story.
