One Bookstore, One Book

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 29 April 2011 10:24 AM

Andrew Kessler has opened a book store. That’s book, not books. The New York Times says the store has only one book in stock, 3000 copies of Kessler’s recently-published account of NASA’s 2008 Phoenix Mars Lander mission.  The store’s sole mission? To sell his book. Perhaps because he’s out of things to read, Kessler has had time to coin a new word—he calls himself “the Monobookist.” He says the reactions to Ed’s Martian Book range—some people are curious, others angry, and others still curious how he pays the rent. And he was forced to put up this sign, after a slew of inquiries: “We have one book, but we’re not Scientologists.”

Turns out, there is somewhere else to pick up Kessler’s book: Amazon. Here’s the link: Martian Summer: Robot Arms, Cowboy Spacemen, and My 90 Days with the Phoenix Mars Mission
