50 Years of Island Books: Our Sales Reps

In this installment, we’re seeing Island Books through the eyes of our sales reps. Dan Christiaens, Christine Foye, David Glenn and Kurtis Lowe all have decades-long relationships with Island Books, with lots of stories to share.

Miriam: Welcome Dan, Christine, David, and Kurtis! I'm excited to talk to all of you. As key sales reps for the big publishing houses, you've all had long-standing relationships with Island Books, and we wouldn't be the place we are today without your contributions. Tell me some stories! It can be about your first impression of the store, how you came to work with us, a particular title that did well at Island Books, or any other fond memories.

Dan Christiaens (Norton): I’ll start off. It was around 20 years ago that I started covering accounts in the PNW. I was still living in SoCal. Island Books was on my account list so on my first trip I stopped by and met Roger. He was pretty terse, made it clear that he didn’t see reps, but would review my stuff and send me an order for anything that he wanted. The store was lovely, well curated, with the typewriters all over and a small music section featuring CD’s, which caught my attention. I would stop by the store when I was in town, say hello, and always buy a CD or two.

When I moved up here in 2004, I started visiting the store more regularly, chatting with Cindy or Nancy, or even Roger—and would buy a CD or order some music that I wanted that they didn’t carry, and began to suggest music they should be aware of. Then our books became the topic of conversation, and I started recommending various books of ours. Roger slowly came to respect my knowledge of our books—and we became friendly, and then MAGIC HAPPENED! And he started ordering from me!

Christine Foye (Simon & Schuster): Here's one of my favorite photos of all time, a picture of Laurie, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and me on tour for the hardcover of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Which leads me to....

A book that did especially well at the store and why—The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! Laurie and Victor came to the prepub dinner that I had for TJR in Seattle. Laurie immediately embraced the book and shared it and hyped it and talked nonstop about it until finally pub day came and by gum, Island Books was outselling all of my other accounts within a month. This was the perfect storm of great book, passionate reader and responsive customer base. It's wonderful to find a book one can really get behind, and Laurie and the whole staff did that with this marvelous novel. Also, don't we look lovely in green?

Remembering my first days selling to Island Books—I started selling to Roger in 1993. I knew nothing about anything, I was fresh out of the St. Martin's Press office in New York, selling trade paperbacks and mass markets and children's books and perfectly confident in my ignorance. Roger made short work of my inexperience but was kind about it, and commented on how I tidied up the store shelves and faced out titles. Had I worked in a bookstore, he asked. I sure had, and after that things were always affectionate between us in the Roger way. Which is to say, he let me sit and chatter for probably 10 minutes longer than he would have otherwise. And often I got a laugh out of him, which was wondrous. We did bond over having both been to Newfoundland — did you know he co-edited a book about it titled Outport: Reflections from the Newfoundland Coast? He did. (It's out of print.) I always loved Island Books, it was a pleasure to visit and see what kind of books Roger had decided to buy for the community. What a lucky community.

David Glenn (Penguin Random House): Durn, my first visit to the store was so long ago I’m not sure I can even dredge it up from my addled brain. If I had to guess, I’d say it was probably way back in the mid-90s? Of course that was back in the “Roger Days,” and I think it’s fair to say that, within our tightly-knit rep community, Roger was known as kind of a tough buyer. He relied a lot on jobbers and didn’t particularly like being “sold,” especially if it was by someone he felt perhaps didn’t necessarily measure up, or wasn’t sufficiently prepared to defend a title if questioned about it. Roger did not, as they say, suffer fools gladly and, quite honestly, I was pretty intimidated by him at first. He gave me a bit of a rough few seasons there at the beginning—always good-naturedly, for sure, but also making sure I understood who the buyer/owner was. Early on, though, I decided that I was going to do whatever it took to win Roger over. I was gonna get a belly laugh outta that guy one way or the other. So every season I made sure to bring my A-game, and began my campaign to be “welcomed” by Roger. It took me a lot longer than I thought it would—at least a couple years—but eventually, the respect I had for Roger as an owner and businessperson, was replaced by just the simple goodness of the man. I loved his dry sense of humor, and if you could coax it out of him, he had a truly impish grin. So Island Books at that point became one of my favorite stores to visit.

When Roger decided he’d had enough and it was time to sell, I was pretty bummed. And in what was an odd quirk of fate, the fellow that helped Laurie come to a decision about buying the store was an old fraternity brother of mine who lives on the island. Happily, Laurie and Victor have been the ideal stewards to move Island Books along, post-Roger. The store has always had a wonderful vibe, a superb staff, a great location, and a tremendously supportive community.

As far as books go, I have to mention a title I feel is perhaps the finest novel any of my imprints have published during my 34-odd years with Penguin Random House: The Heart’s Invisible Furies, by John Boyne. Full disclosure: Island Books has sold a solid, if unspectacular 40-plus copies of it since it came out in August of 2017. So, not a real barn-burner. But more than the “zero” it would have sold had Laurie not been willing to take a chance, and an example of the fruits of the give-and-take between a rep and a buyer. It may not have set the world afire, but my fervent hope is that it will remain a staple at the store for years to come.

In January of 2018, I hosted a dinner for three PRH authors: veteran Amy Bloom, and newcomers Tara Westover and Karen Cleveland. Both Laurie and Victor attended that dinner and, at one point, Victor noticed that while nearly everyone was chatting away left and right, Karen Cleveland was looking a little lost and forlorn (whoever the rep host was that night should have been paying more attention). So he marched right over and began chatting her up. Well, cutting to the chase, Victor read her debut thriller Need To Know (based on the author’s own experiences as a former CIA counterterrorism analyst) and made it his own personal crusade to make it an IB bestseller. In short order, IB sold over 70 hardcovers, and another 100+ more in paperback, which is just an outstanding result for a debut novel. Tara Westover’s singular memoir, Educated, also struck a chord with Laurie and Victor that night. And while it’s true the book was a massive bestseller for nearly every bookstore in America (spending over two years on the NYT hardcover bestseller list in hardcover no less), IB more than held their own and, in fact, really punched above their weight, selling nearly 600 copies in hardcover alone. This is the power of the independent bookstore in general, and the superpower of a store like Island Books. Every community in America should be so lucky to have such a store, and I can’t help but believe that if this were actually the case, the country would be a far less frightening and chaotic place.

Kurtis Lowe (Imprint Group): When I started as a commission rep back in 1997, I did not work with publishers that ranked for a meeting with Roger Page. However, in early 2001, I joined Book Travelers West, so Roger was ready to meet with me to scrutinize the lists of Workman, Ten Speed Press, Running Press, Watson-Guptill, and more. As I pitched book after book (only the best), Roger would pause before a title, pen hovering over the printed catalog page… sometimes he would he would score a one, for one copy... saved! It would have a chance. Two copies. Looking good! Three copies… just about as high as he would go with me. That is because local wholesalers had no better indie partner than Island Books when it came to restocking a title if it worked, and the high shelves were too full displaying vintage typewriters to make room for overstock. Roger’s team could be on the phone minutes before the deadline and receive a shipment by the end of the day. An initial order of one, two or three copies of could become 20, 50, or 100s sold over time.

When a title did not make the grade, Roger was not cruel, as he slashed a diagonal across the page, but at least he was definitive: “Not quite,” he would state, and often add a helpful comment of feedback for the publisher. Perhaps the greatest feeling of triumph as a rep was to throw a Hail Mary, one more point to get that book on the shelf, and Roger would page back, look again, squiggle out the slash and enter a number and circle it for order entry.

The times that Roger really went for a book were beautiful, and he was ready to do something a little special. Back in 2014, Island Books picked The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry for their April store pick. I committed to touring Gabrielle Zevin to 27 Pacific Northwest bookstores in three days to celebrate this gift to the bookselling (and rep) community. Roger loved the idea; he set up a display in front and gave a little speech to the the late morning gathering.

I’ve observed many bookstore succession stories. Laurie Raisys taking over, respecting traditions, and creating new ones, while bringing her own experience and energy to the store has clearly been a great success. Lillian Welch is my buyer now, and she eerily brings some of that challenging scrutiny that reminds me of Roger, but also a new and vibrant commitment to the best books for all readers in challenging times. Thank you to the many booksellers at Island Books who carry on your great tradition and congratulations to Island Books for 50 years as a shining literary light on Mercer Island!

Thank you to Dan, Christine, David and Kurtis, for giving us a glimpse into how those books get on the shelves at Island Books!

To our Island Books community: In the next 50 Years of Island Books installment, I’ll be talking to Cindy Corujo, who has been a bookseller for 36 years and has the longest tenure of any Island Books employee.

On September 11, 2001, the four coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people, including the hijackers, and injured thousands more.3 The death toll included 265 on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,606 in the World Trade Center and in the surrounding area, and 125 at The Pentagon.2 Almost all of the deaths in the Twin Towers occurred on floors trapped by the plane impacts, but the available data suggests that between 1,344 and 1,426 people occupied floors 92–110 of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the skyscraper at 08:46, none of whom survived.1 The youngest flight passenger who died was Christine Hanson, a 2-year-old on her way to Disneyland on United Airlines Flight 175. The oldest was Robert Norton, 82, who was on American Airlines Flight 11. "Just like Jan. 6th" --Kamala Harris

Hmm,,,boyfs 46?

"I miss Edward Norton's Hulk."

Jeremy snorted at the out of nowhere comment, despite how common they were when he and Michael were any amount of stoned. "Oh yeah?"

He was glad to be able to get Jeremy to laugh, since it had been a particularly long day. They'd had a math test, a history review for an upcoming test, and they had to run the mile today. Plus Jeremy had been having an off week anyway, so Michael was doing everything he could to make things marginally less sucky for him. He didn't know all the details, (Jeremy wasn't always great at articulating what was wrong,) but he was doing his best.

"Mark Ruffalo's a good A-, don't get me wrong, but Edward Norton?" Michael gave a chef's kiss. "A++ I tell ya."

Jeremy repositioned in his beanbag. "Hulk is just a rage monster. Anyone can do it."

"Ok, fine, I miss Edward Norton's Bruce Banner."

"There ya go."

Michael splayed his arms out as he sank deeper into his beanbag. "He did the paranoia right! Bruce is supposed to be a scrawny nerd in constant fear of Hulk coming out, not the same snarky smart-ass that every other MCU character is! I get it, Disney's going for mass appeal, but!"

He waved pointlessly at the ceiling before dropping his arms again. He'd be able to construct a better TedTalk if his brain hadn't been made of cotton from the joints he'd just smoked. "The Incredible Hulk is so good. It made Bruce his own distinct character and I just," a wistful sigh, "I love it."

He wasn't looking at Jeremy, but he could tell from his voice that he was raising an eyebrow at him. "If you love it so much, then why don't you marry it?"

"Because I'd rather marry you."

Wait.

Shit.

Michael had half a mind to not slap a hand over his mouth after the words came out.

He was no stranger to jokingly flirting with Jeremy, in the over the top 'no one would actually believe I was even being slightly serious' way. Not in the 'oh look at me, I'm so smooth and that just slipped out' way.

He could play it off as a joke. He always did! Because it was staggering how many times he was accidentally smooth and had to play it cool. But his brain locked up when he heard a downright horrifying silence.

Michael looked at Jeremy, seeing bright blue eyes just as wide as his were. He expected a flushed face. Dumbfounded, flustered stuttering maybe. What he got was...

Nothing.

Just a blank, red-rimmed stare.

Then, a breathy laugh. A small, choked sound behind a blink-and-you'll-miss-it twitch of eyebrows.

"Yeah, right," he said, looking at the carpet. "Your standards can't possibly be that low."

Michael didn't think he could get a response worse than rejection.

He'd comforted Jeremy through more than enough downward spirals of self-loathing and commiserating over never getting the girl over the years, but he didn't expect... that to hurt as much as it did. To hear Jeremy so quickly shoot down the mere concept of Michael being serious, sounding so... hopeless, and hurt that he would even bring it up.

He could take the out. He could take Jeremy's denial and keep it all buried. Run with it like he always did.

Michael pushed himself up. "That," he paused, voice soft, "wasn't a joke, Jeremy."

He didn't.

He didn't know what all specifically was going on in Jeremy's head to make his week suck, but he was beginning to suspect it had something to do his and Christine's breakup a month back. Going through all of the SQUIP's bullshit to get the girl only for it all to quietly fizzle away a week later.

Jeremy had apologized more than enough. Insisted that getting with the cool kids wasn't worth a parasitic computer controlling him like a meat puppet. Sobbed into Michael's chest wondering why the fuck he decided to forgive him. Quietly wiggled away from talking about Christine in any capacity other than 'all that for a week's worth of pecks on the cheek. Go me.'

Bringing up Christine when Jeremy didn't want to talk about her? Yeah, Michael could understand a response like that. Michael accidentally letting out a secret that could've (and should've!) been played off as a joke? Something wasn't connecting.

Jeremy let out a strained sigh. "Don't fuck with me, Micha, I'm not-" he dragged his hands over his face, "just- this isn't the day for it."

A little over two months of being at the mercy of a supercomputer that promised him the girl, royally fucking things up with his best friend, evicting said supercomputer from his brain, getting dumped by the girl he'd been chasing after that whole time, already having a history of accepting the false reality that no one would want to date him, and then hearing his best friend casually say he wants to marry him...

It was starting to click into place.

"Jer, I'm not..." he said slowly. "I'm not fucking with you this time. I... never really was."

Jeremy froze.

Then peeked out over his fingers.

"...what?"

Michael wasn't sure where this sudden bravery came from, (it was the weed and the overwhelming need to have Jeremy understand how loved he was,) but he wasn't gonna pull on the brakes now.

"I've... always meant it whenever I dropped stupid, flirty lines on you. I just kinda let you think I was joking because... I assumed you never wanted me to be serious. And you probably still don't, but-"

"No, wait." Jeremy fully sat up, his expression some mix of offended (not good) and confused (unclear). "You mean to tell me that you've been genuinely flirting with me for the past- what, two? Three years now?"

Michael grimaced. He still wasn't sure what direction this was going in, whether he was actually making Jeremy feel better or if he was dumping a whole garbage load of other shit onto him.

"'Genuinely' as in I was trying to flirt, not exactly. 'Genuinely' as in I'd rather marry you than The Incredible Hulk? I think your laugh is adorable? I think about kissing you at inopportune times?" He hissed through his teeth. "Yes?"

That mixed expression Jeremy had melted into something softer. Something less dubious and more... relieved, almost? "Oh my God, you shoulda said something sooner."

Michael blinked. "Huh?"

"Michael, my dumb ass has been pining for you since freshman year."

Michael blinked harder. "Huh?! Wait, shit, then why haven't we been making out this whole time?"

Jeremy laughed, but still kinda looked like he wanted to cry. In a good way now, though. He couldn't give much response other than trying to stumble words out through his strained giggles. "I- you just- I didn't- we weren't- we didn't-"

"That your way of saying we need to make up for lost time?"

He flushed. "I- shut up."

Michael wiggled his eyebrows. "Make me."

Jeremy let out an amused huff and clamored into Michael's lap. He didn't really do anything after that, other than glance between Michael's eyes and lips like he wasn't sure what he was supposed fo do next. Which, to be fair, his SQUIP never exactly taught him how to kiss (as godawful of an image as that was).

Michael ended up shutting himself up by pulling Jeremy into that awkward 'I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing but I don't care because it's you' kiss himself.

Books!! Thanks to @magicalrocketships for the tag 💖

An estimate of how many physical books I own: I have two floor-to-ceiling walls of books, and random piles elsewhere, so probably somewhere between 750 and 1000? I'm always scouring charity shops and flea markets for interesting books.

Favorite author: is there anyone who can pick just one? Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, Paul Auster, Ali Smith, Graham Greene, Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, off the top of my head.

A popular book I've never read and never intend to read: never say never and all that, but it'll be a cold day in hell when I crack open a Thomas Hardy voluntarily.

A popular book I thought was just meh: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell. I wanted so badly to like it, but it was a struggle just making it through the first couple of chapters and I gave up.

Longest book I own: I do have War & Peace, Vanity Fair, and Bleak House, all of which are an endurance workout for the wrists. I also have The Norton Anthology of Poetry, which is a compilation of most poets and poems, ever, which is a struggle to get off the shelf.

Longest series I own all the books to: is the wider Terry Pratchett universe considered a series? If so, those.

Prettiest book I own: I have an early edition of Virginia Woolf's diary which has a cover illustrated by Vanessa Bell. I'm very fond of the design of that.

A book or series I wish more people knew about: I really wish more people had read the Widdershins books by Jordan L Hawk, so I had someone to exclaim 'but what about the bit when the librarians [spoilers]!!!' to while they yell back 'Christine my beloved!!'. So that's my rec, if anyone is looking for a series of, say, 11 books packed with magical historical fantasy shenanigans featuring archaeologists, but also aliens (no, really), that doesn't take itself too seriously but also delivers more convincing magical world building than a lot of books that do.

Book I’m reading now: I just finished The Half-life of Valery K and I'm halfway through a book of Emily Dickinson poems. I think I have a romance queued up next for a bit of a breather. Maybe a KJ Charles.

Book that’s been on my TBR list for a while but I still haven’t gotten around to it: my TBR is like four shelves high. The one that gives me the greatest pang of regret every time my gaze alights upon it is probably The World Broke In Two, which is about the impact of WWI on art and writing.

Do you have any books in a language other than English: I have some Spanish copies of Lorca I think.

Paperback, hardcover or ebook?: I mix it up. I usually buy secondhand books when I'm buying physical copies so I'll go with whatever looks in the best condition, but most of my actual reading I do on my Kindle because I don't put the lights on in the evening to help with my insomnia and real books don't have handy self-adjusting ambient lighting.

The cast includes Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, Rip Torn, and John Amos. The film played so much on HBO that the acronym was jokingly referred to as, “Hey, Beastmaster’s On!” This film has it all: bat people, killer ferrets, black-dyed tigers, and much more. Casting choices that didn’t make the cut? Demi Moore as Kiri (played by Tanya Roberts) and Klaus Kinksi as Maax (played by Rip Torn). Could this be Jeff Mohr’s new favorite Eighties film? You’ll have to listen to find out.

The Old Salem Post

Our Local Tamassee-Salem SC Area News each Monday except holidays Contact: [email protected] Distributed to local businesses, town hall, library. Volume 7 Issue 4 Week of December 18, 2023 https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/oldsalempost-blog Lynne Martin Publishing

EDITOR: God awakens each of us as we journey along through many experiences: the loss of health, a painful divorce, betrayal of a friend, the joyful birth of a child, sorrow through the death of a loved one, and the list goes on. Joy, laughter, tears, and heartbreak are usually part of everyone’s journey. God did not promise us an easy life. He promised to never leave us. As we celebrate the coming of Baby Jesus born to humble parents in a humble shed, let us reflect on life, as imperfect as it is. Mary and Joseph faced hardships: birth in a stable, away from home and the help of family, then running from King Herod and hiding for years to keep Jesus safe. God was always with them, and He is with us now, no matter what we are experiencing. Jesus said in John 10:10 “I come that they might have life abundantly.” What comfort and joy the Christmas experience brings! LMartin

The first segment was in last week's Old Salem Post). . .There are also summer reading clubs at the main library and all three branches and a weekly story hour at the main library. . .The library was originally overseen by a commission consisting of Mrs. W.L.

Jottings from Miz Jeannie by Jeannie Barnwell Decorating Veterans' Graves for Christmas: The teacher always learns the most! And this certainly is true for a volunteer with Wreaths Across America. My challenge began last January when I placed the order for the 30 wreaths to be placed at Salem Methodist Church. Then, several weeks ago, the fragrant fir branches were fashioned into wreaths and loaded in trucks to finally be delivered in Salem Methodist Church. The congregation had planned to hold a service outside. However, it seems that a mini- hurricane with the possibility of tornadoes is wending its way up from Florida. I can count on the congregation to get this job of honoring Americans done. "If these soldiers risked their lives in battle for our country, then we will wait for a break in the weather. AND MEN AND WOMEN AND BOYS AND GIRLS will slosh out to the cemetery to remember and to honor veterans' sacrifices." During the holidays, everyone is invited to stroll through the cemetery, the resting place of veterans from the War Between the States; World Wars I and II; Korea and Vietnam. Miz Jeannie wishes you a safe and joyful Christmas! Christmas Gift: DISCOVER Freeze Drying: The perfect solution for outdoor living. Easy to rehydrate. Delicious & Nutritious. Lasts up to 25 years! ADCM 174 East Main Street Salem ( beside Talk of the Town Beauty Salon) is now is carrying the HARVESTRIGHT Unit. Stop by and check these out as well the firearms, ammo, fishing supplies, treasures, antiques and more.

Quote by Linus Van Pelt: "For behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ ” From “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Amanda Holder, our District 1 Council Representative made a motion to amend the Plan A , item 3 to read “build Keowee Elementary a new school,” leaving off the closing and consolidation of TS-E with Keowee. Sandra Sloan made the second and all were in favor of accepting the amending of Plan A. Plan A was then voted on and accepted. One mother told me, “I am so happy. I went to Tamassee-Salem Elementary, now I know my children will get to go.”
