Temporarily -- we don't know for how long -- Amazon is inexplicably discounting the paperback of MR. BOARDWALK to $8.50. Though we don't ordinarily go out of the way to promote Amazon, this qualifies as a public service announcement. If you have friends you want to treat to a good read for spring/summer, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Go-to-the-Beach Day or any similar event, here's the link.
