“One of the best American novels to come down the pike in a long, long time.” - Chris Nickson, novelist/music journalist
—We make love very slowly, partly to keep the water in the tub, but mostly ‘cause that’s just where we’re at. In the haze of the drugs and the vodka, the candles and the steam, it’s almost painfully like some very real thing. Like that five minutes of life, a long time ago, with someone else. When I pull out there is a little puff of blood into the water. It hangs there for a moment like a rosebud and then disappears. I don’t know why, but it is the saddest goddamn thing I have ever seen. My hands are wet so I wipe my face.She sings, “‘I said no, no, no, no, baby, please don’t cry. No, no, no, baby, please.’”
When Some of the Best Novels Are 'Little'Now I plunge even further off the beaten path to the work of Thomas M. Atkinson, a man I call "the best author you've never read." His work is literary, real, detailed, dark, and as sharp as needles fresh out of the package. Thom's first novel, Strobe Life, was picked up by a small press, who gave it a bad cover and very little help being discovered. But that doesn't keep it from being well worth the read. And his story collection Standing Deadwood, while still waiting to be picked up in book form, is having wonderful success as individual stories. They have been published in The Sun, North American Review, Indiana Review, and other prestigious magazines. They've been nominated for Pushcart Prizes and have won more awards than I have room to list. Some can be read online, including "River's Edge," "Standing Deadwood," and "Blue Highway."- By Catherine Ryan Hyde for Off the Shelf

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
