”The new Robert Dinsdale book on Massachusetts Street is still selling like hotcakes, and Larry McElwain’s memoir of being the town undertaker has also piqued a lot of interest!” the Raven Book Store writes.
“We definitely switched over to a Christmas gift-heavy bestseller list pretty much as soon as middle of November and Thanksgiving week hit,” the Raven Book Store writes.
”Another ’only book store in the world with this Top 10 list,’” the Raven Book Store writes, as Lawrence locals including Louise Krug, Kelly Kindscher and Meg Heriford have books on this edition.
”The top 2 books on this list are from a couple of incredible events we had in the last couple of weeks. We are also starting to get a peek of the coming holiday season’s hot titles!” the Raven Book Store writes.
Three longtime booksellers at the Raven Book Store will soon take ownership of the store from outgoing majority owner Danny Caine.

As acclaimed author Louise Erdrich rolls out her just-published book, “The Mighty Red,” she will visit Haskell Indian Nations University to discuss the work.

”Fresh on the heels of her book’s release and her wonderful event at Liberty Hall, Sarah Smarsh tops our bestseller list with her new collection of essays and articles,” the Raven Book Store writes.
”This week sees an all-local top three driven in large part by our event/preorder program. Thanks for supporting our local authors in this way!” the Raven Book Store writes.
