Shop Independent Durham Week Starts Saturday!

logo
Keep Your Dough in Durham
Saturday November 28 through Sunday December 6th The Regulator will be joining more than 50 other locally owned independent businesses in Durham to celebrate Shop Independent Durham Week.  The 55 participating businesses will be offering special sales and promotions throughout the week. See the complete listing on the Sustain-a-Bull website:  http://www.sustainabull.net/

Here at The Regulator we'll have dozens of our most present-able books on sale, 20% off. Look for the red "Holiday Sale" tags in the store, or you can see the complete list of these sale titles at this link. And we'll be hosting great events all week long, starting with a children's storytime Saturday morning at 10:30. Highlights next week include no fewer than three new books about basketball, a new cookbook from local chef extraordinaire Sara Foster and more. See below for our complete events listing.



So what's the big deal about shopping at locally owned, independent businesses, you might ask?

For one thing, there's a big economic benefit for our local community.

Studies have shown that for every $100.00 spent at a locally owned independent business, $45.00 stays in the local community.

Spend that $100.00 at a local outlet of a national chain and only $13.00 stays local.

Spend $100.00 at a national on-line retailer and pretty much nothing stays in our community.

At The Regulator, 21% of the money you spend here goes directly to our employees. 24% goes to other local folks who bring us supplies, keep our computers running, broker our insurance, file our taxes, etc. etc. And to our great local publishers and authors, whose books we sell.

But there's more to it than just dollars and cents.

The Regulator provides a comfortable, relaxed space where people can spend time surrounded by books, in the company of people who care about books. This is a place where friendly, charming, informative, and often amazing conversations happen every day, sometimes between total strangers. A place where you can "listen in" as parents read stories to their young children. A place where you can hear and talk with authors from all over the world. A place where you can join in our "community conversations," like those we've recently hosted about race and mortality.

When you shop at The Regulator you are supporting a place that gives back to the community, that enriches the life of our community, that does things that create community in the first place. We thank you for your support, and we pledge to continue our efforts to uphold our end of our partnership with our fair city. And meanwhile, we hope you will remember to
Shop Independent Durham!

Free parking on Ninth St, Present-able books, and Upcoming Events

logo
Free Parking Returns to Ninth Street!
We've had enough of looking out our window at the empty parking lot across the street. Since the city won't admit they made a mistake making this a paid parking lot, we're taking matters into our own hands.

We are declaring, henceforth, that you no longer need to pay to park in the Ninth Street lot, no matter what day or time you park there.

Here's how it will work:
--Bring your parking ticket (the one you get from the meter in the lot) with you to the bookstore (You don't have to put this ticket in your windshield like you do at Duke Gardens).
--Spend $10.00 or more before tax at The Regulator, show us your ticket, and we'll give you a dollar off your bill.

Other Ninth Street merchants will be joining in this effort soon-look for upcoming announcements.

And remember, you never have to pay to park in the Ninth Street lot on Saturdays and Sundays or after 7:00 p.m. weekdays. 
Present-able Books
It has come to our attention that a certain time of year is fast approaching. "A good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely..." A time when folks make merry and exchange gifts with those whom they love and cherish. Hoping that some of you reading this email will be giving books as gifts, we present our first installment of gift suggestions, a.k.a. present-able books.

We'll start out with two very different (on the face of it, anyway) nonfiction titles.

Want to get away from all the news about ISIS, the never-ending presidential campaign, etc. etc.? Turn off your cell phone, shut down your computer and get lost in this story of life on a sheep farm in the Lake District of England. James Rebanks' ancestors have been shepherds in the Lake District for centuries, and he grew up on his grandfather's and then his father's farm. Although he himself ended up graduating from Oxford, he came back home to work the family farm. The Shepherd's Life give us a look at a way of life-rooted in place, filled with hard work, smart dogs, and smart sheep farmers-that most of us can barely imagine. But I found it comforting to know that some people, at least, can still live this way. Highly recommended!

--Skyfaring: A Journey With a Pilot by Mark Vanhoenacker.
Mark Vanhoenacker pilots 747s on long-haul flights around the world. He doesn't have to put up with security lines and the cramped quarters in the back of the plane, and he enjoys a great view of the sky and the world from his front and side-facing cockpit windows. His book is a marvelous blend of the nuts and bolts of how modern aviation actually works combined with a poet's appreciation of the wonder of literally flying through the air. A list of the chapter headings gives a good feel for the book: Lift. Place. Wayfinding. Machine. Air. Water. Encounters. Night. Return.

One of my favorite stories from the book:  when Vanhoenacker discusses jet-lag, he adds that there should also be a consideration of "place lag." Modern air travel, he feels, can whisk us too quickly from one culture to another, and it can take us some time to make the cultural adjustments needed to be fully present in a new place. He suggests that there are some places whose cultures are so different that it might be better if they were not served by non-stop jet service. Like Washington, D.C. and Rio de Janerio, for example.

This would be a great gift for anyone who spends much time on airplanes.

--The perfect stocking stuffer for the right person is "The Great N.C. Beer Map" which features over 200 craft breweries and festivals in "the Southeast's Greatest Beer State." Got beer?
Upcoming Events, including our first bi-weekly Saturday Storytime!

Friday November 20, 6:00 pm (please note the time)

Tonight-our community conversation about "Being Mortal." And the best book web site you've never heard of. And more!

logo
A quick reminder...
that this evening at 7:00 we host our "community conversation" on Atul Gawande's Being Mortal.: Medicine and What Matters in the End. See below for more on this special event. 
The best book web site you've never heard of is...
http://callmeishmael.com/ , a site that replays (in audio) people telling stories about books they love. It works like this: people call a phone number and leave a voicemail about a book they love and a story-about the book-that they have lived. Three times a week the folks at callmeishmael pick the best of the recent calls and add the audios to the web site. The stories on the site...well, some will make you cry, some will make you laugh, all of them are wonderful.
 
Make sure you've set aside some time to listen when you first go on this site. You're probably going to have trouble limiting your listening to just one or two stories! And you might want to contribute to their kickstarter campaign to help bring callmeishmael "phones" into libraries and independent bookstores around the country.

 Upcoming Events
 
JEHANNE GHEITH and DR LAURA HANSON DISCUSS "BEING MORTAL" BY ATUL GAWANDE
Thursday, November 5, 7:00 p.m.
Thursday evening November 5th we will host the second in our series of "community conversations," a discussion of Atul Gawande's deep, compassionate best-seller, Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End. Our discussion will be led by Dr Laura Hanson, Professor of Geriatric Medicine and co-director of UNC's Palliative Care Program and Jehanne Gheith, a Duke professor who is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with Duke Hospice
.
In Being Mortal, physician Atul Gawande uses stories of his father, his patients, and friends to bring a thoughtful insider's view to the issues that are most important when dealing with death and the dying, including the conflicts that can result between a patient's wishes for their last days-a good quality of life and a "good death"-and the goals of medical care to extend life and insure safety. Gracefully written, Being Mortal opens a door to discussion of a subject that all too often engenders only fear and denial.
 
Our community conversation on Being Mortal is open to all mortals, of all ages. The discussion will get underway at 7:00 p.m.

(The Regulator's Community Conversation series uses books to initiate conversations about important issues in our lives and in our world. The series started in September, when we hosted a marvelous discussion of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, led by Randall Kenan and Tim Tyson. Plans are underway for a third installment in January, focused on global warming).

SCOTT ELLSWORTH
Saturday, November 14th, 7:00pm
Scott Ellsworth returns to talk abut one of the best books about Durham history--and one of the best books about basketball--that I've read. Based on years of research, The Secret Game; A Wartime Story of Courage, Change, and Basketball's Lost Triumph is the true story of a 1943 basketball game that changed all the rules. The riveting account of a remarkable season, it is Secret Game the story of how a handful of forgotten college basketball players--the all-white, medical school team from Duke and the all-black Eagles from the North Carolina College for Negroes--not only changed the game forever, but also helped to usher in a new America.
 
Scott Ellsworth was a historian at the Smithsonian Institution. He has written articles about American history for the LA Times, New York Times, and the Washington Post. He is the author of Death in a Promised Land, an account of the 1921 Tulsa race riot. He lives with his wife and twin sons in Ann Arbor, where he teaches at the University of Michigan.
