Little Shop of Horrors = Poisoned Pen Bookstore

Scottsdale has its own Indie bookstore in the Old Town Scottsdale art district on Goldwater and 1st Avenue.  Whereas I enjoy going to Barnes and Noble, I prefer small book stores run by well-read locals.  The Poisoned Pen sells mainly fiction, specializing in crime novels and mysteries.  With over 250 author talks and book signings each year, the store carries over 1,000 autographed copies.  Tomorrow, for example, Clive Cussler and Thomas Perry will sign The Tombs: A Fargo Adventure at 7 p.m.  Join one of several book clubs, or arrange with the staff to have your own book club meet there.  You will enjoy the staff picks for new fiction.  For upcoming events, check out:The Poisoned Pen
