This book has recently come out in paperback. To purchase it, or for more information, click here: City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers.




Mindy is recommending this new short essay collection with: "Some are funny. Some poignant. Some will kinda make your skin crawl. All worth reading."

Pat W. is recommending "This 'user-friendly', 'non-partisan' book that will help all with the issues, positions and TERMS."
