Guest blogs winding down, buy-2-get-1-free sale continues...

We are coming up to the end of the 33 1/3 guest bloggers at the Powell's blog... Carl Wilson has a post on Celine Dion, distractions, and digressions later this week, and Drew Daniel finish things up with a post on Throbbing Gristle next week.

BUT DO NOT FEAR! Powell's will be running the buy 2, get 1 free deal on 33 1/3's through the end of the year. So it's not too late to buy a book or fifty (ahem) for that certain special someone this holiday season.

Also, I should mention that finished copies of Wilson's 33 1/3 on Celine Dion just arrived from the printer and they look verrrrry nice.

The latest:
* Nick Drake - Pink Moon author Amanda Petrusich on Joan Didion and California.
* Music from Big Pink author John Niven on being the writer at the party.
* Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones (coming in December!) author David Smay on Flann O'Brien.
