I suggest a poll or a contest: What SHOULD Amazon call their SciFi imprint?


I'm looking forward to their Social Studies textbook series, The Federal Way.

Still pending: Sales Taxes We Don't Collect Because We Hate America.

It's going to be a blockbuster when it's released.

They should have named the mystery imprint Bellevue Ave E & Bellevue PL E & Bellevue Ct E.

But Thomas and Mercer run paralell to eachother. Is this in imprint for unsolved mysteries. That would piss readers off. End each book with a Rashomonesque recap of the various possibilities and then just stop with an elipsis.

If it's amystery imprint it should be named after the #25 bus route, based on the question: Why is it never on time?

Oh. and @ 5 is right, there is no intersection of those streets.

@8 except most of the intersections in Seattle suck for names, since 95% are named avenues and numbered streets. And Seattle has some nice pairings of parallel streets, esspecially downtown. Madison & Marion et al.

May I suggest Royal Brougham as a romance imprint?

@5, @8 The Amazon headquarters is a set of buildings between Thomas (S), Mercer (N), Terry (W) and Boren (E) in South Lake Union.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, @5. Textbooks from NE Campus Parkway?

Silly: Sci-fi and fantasy will be Troll Lane.

I hope the new books star a detective named Terry Boren.

Shouldn't 3rd and Pike be the horror imprint?
