To celebrate the publication of acclaimed and offbeat book Martian Summer, author Andrew Kessler built a new kind of bookstore in Manhattan’s West Village that stocks thousands of copies of just one book. The bookstore, Ed's Martian Book, is stocked floor to ceiling with the New and Noteworthy, Bestseller and Spotlight feature: Martian Summer.

In this set, you'll get a glimpse inside Ed's Martian Book through photographs of a launch party on Apil 4/22.

Breaking Dawn release party by Clevergrrl

These girls waited in line after they purchased their books to get a empty "Breaking Dawn" box.

I attended the Midnight release party for "Breaking Dawn" by Stephanie Meyer at the Borders in Augusta, GA. They presold 250ish copies.

Chris' little sister, Lilith, graciously agreed to accompany me to the release party so I could pretend the book was for *her.*

I had to snap a shot of these girls. They were engaged in some imaginative ( albeit crazy) role playing in line behind me. It involved a cross over between Star Wars and Dr. Who...

Breaking Dawn release party by Clevergrrl

Borders did a phenomenal job. They had pallbearers bring out this coffin filled with books.

Borders had a wall where people could express their wishes for Bella's choice. I was really entertained by the enthusiasm these girls put into their responses.
