What's New - New and exciting titles in this week at Arty Bees

Fiction

Fantastic niche detective books from the folks at Berkley Prime Crime.
Think of a theme and they’ll bring the cliché! We have The Princeton Murders by Ann Waldron in the Big Crime on Campus series, Death Shoots a Birdie - A Birdwatcher’s Mystery by Christine Goff, Scratch the Surface – A Cat Lover’s Mystery by Susan Conant and Dead Boogie – A Loon Lake Fishing Mystery by Victoria Houston. We also have more Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh in paperback – apparently Death Comes As The End. Funny that.

A long time ago (well, this week), in a galaxy far, far away (in the Science Fiction section at Arty Bees) there were Star Wars novels including The Han Solo Trilogy by A. C. Crispin, The Jedi Academy Trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson, The Corellian Trilogy by Roger MacBride Allan, the short story collections - Tales from the Empire, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Jabba's Palace and many, many more.

Our Children’s Section is bursting with great titles at the moment and if it's raining again this weekend then a good book or two for the shorter people in your life may be just the answer to stop those dreaded cabin fever symptoms!
We have beautiful kids picture books like The Sign of the Seahorse - A Tale of Greed & High Adventure in Two Acts by Graeme Base and stories and chapter books for older kids of all reading ages up to and including working stiffs who just refuse to grow up.

We also have non fiction educational stuff including a humongous hoard of Horrible Histories and Horrible Science titles that would make Saxons smile, Egyptians ecstatic, Biologists blissful and Chemists cheery.

And in time for its cinematic debut we've got copies of Where The Wild Things Are. Come and see our monster display and grab a copy of the book everyone should own for just $20.00.

Each week, we bring you the most tragic & fantastic piece of cover art that's crossed our desk.
