EB(This post is mostly for booksellers. If you’re a blogger, rest assured that you’ll be offered galleys of these books very soon as well. And if you’re just a general Harper Perennial fan, they’ll both be available this summer.)
Hi booksellers! While many of you are in DC this week for the winter institute, I know that some of you are still at home, selling books. But we don’t want you to miss out! Below are descriptions of the two books we’re featuring at the institute: Seeds and The Beekeeper’s Lament. If you’re interested, I’ve got galleys and I would love to give them to you. Just fill out the google form below the descriptions—and if I run out, I’ll send you a copy once we’ve got finished copies.
Ready?
Seeds by Richard Horan:
Seeds is the baby of Carl Lennertz, sales guy, friend to indies everywhere, and now sometime-editor. It’s about a guy—a normal guy, a college professor—who decides to travel around the country collecting seeds from the trees outside writers’ homes. Part memoir, part nature book, part travelogue, it’s already gotten praise from Thomas Powers, William Bryan Logan, Spike Carlsen, Bill McKibben, and many others. On sale April 19.
The Beekeeper’s Lament by Hannah Nordhaus:
The Beekeeper’s Lament focuses mainly on John Miller, who brings his bees from crop to crop. Bees are in more danger than ever before—from bears to bugs to a mysterious epidemic called colony collapse disorder—leaving our food chain at risk. But Miller, a true homespun hero, forges ahead with determination and humor. The Beekeeper’s Lament is the story of him and his bees—a moving portrait of a man in the new natural world. Bernd Heinrich, author of Winter World, “loved it,” saying: “With great reporting and great writing, Hannah Nordhaus gives a new angle on an ever-evolving topic.” On sale May 24.
