Recently Studio Ghibli, through Disney, re-released the animated feature film Tales From Earthsea on DVD. Watching it I thought I would very much like to re-read Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy which, luckily my dad had stashed in our basement. There have been a few more books written based in the world of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin including Tehanu, Tales from Earthsea (a collection of short stories), and The Other Wind. I've never read any of those ones but I'm sure they will be as enjoyable as the original trilogy that I love so much and have read many times.
One of the hazards of working at Chapters is you see what other people are buying and want to read those books too, that is the case with this book. I served a customer purchasing Elfland and unfortunately for me she bought the last copy in the store so I had to order one but it was well worth the wait! If you enjoy majestic worlds filled with fey creatures and mysterious evil forces lurking behind closed doors then I would recommend picking up a copy for yourself. (Not to mention a bit of romance for those of us softies) 
Are you a history buff? Do you enjoy watching CSI?? Then this is the book for you. Following the medical examiner's office in New York city during the Roaring Twenties and the Depression, you see the development of forensic science as a respected field. Deborah Blum closely examines the careers of New York City's first chief medical examiner Charles Norris and his toxicologist Alexander Gettler, both pioneers of their time.
