A Grande Skim Latte and One Maisy Mouse, Please
I’m reading in the Boston Globe and USA TODAY that Starbucks plans to sell books in its locations by the end of the year. It's a logical follow-on to the offers of selected music.
Chairman Howard Schultz also hints the chain will offer downloads of books and maybe some proprietary reading materials through its WiFi network. (Did anyone besides me notice it took Starbucks forEVER to roll out that WiFi nationwide?)
Wonder if Starbucks will include some books or downloads featuring Maisy, Madeline, or Thomas the Tank Engine? I’d sure love to have some quality downloads for my iBook or even the mobile phone to help keep Baby A contented while I enjoy my coffee and maybe, just maybe, read a section of the newspaper.
Nah, like that’ll ever happen.

Update!
Yes, I'm reading that Starbucks will market "The Velveteen Rabbit"' and "The Night Before Christmas'' audiobooks under an agreement with Random House Inc.
Baby A is too young to sit and listen to an audiobook. But can Maisy be far behind?
