Keeping It Local

I haven't yet been able to track down a copy and confirm this with my own eyes, but Magers and Quinn is the setting for part of Alison McGhee's latest young adult novel Julia Gillian (And the Art of Knowing). McGhee tells School Library Journal,"Magers & Quinn? It’s my favorite bookstore. I set the story in my own neighborhood in Minneapolis because I wanted to set a book here—usually they’re set in upstate New York."

We don't have any copies of this book in the store right now, but you can be sure we'll be getting more soon.--David E
