••• Steven Alan‘s annual sample sale will be online only this year (June 19–22).

••• Watch your children: R. Kelly will be at Barnes & Noble on June 28.

••• I stopped by the Mysterious Bookshop to pick up Alan Furst’s new novel, [Something about] Paris, and it comes out tomorrow. They did say that Furst would most likely be there tomorrow to sign books, but it’s not a public event, so you’ll have to happen by and get lucky if you want to meet him.

••• I enjoyed reading Rotten Ralph at Tribeca Treats—by Marin Thebault, owner Rachel’s daughter—during a recent visit to the bakery.
