 Just Books is pleased to welcome journalist and author Douglas Gladstone as he introduces his first book A Bitter Cup of Coffee: How MLB and the Players Association Threw 874 Retirees a Curve (Word Association, $18). This painstakingly researched book by Gladstone examines the plight of 874 Major League Baseball players who played between 1947 and 1979, all with brief trials in the majors, careers figuratively just long enough to drink a cup of coffee.

Here’s the Just Books blurb:
Just Books is pleased to welcome award-winning teen and tween author Sarah Darer Littman, a Greenwich resident, as she introduces her third novel for teens Life, After (Scholastic Press; $17.99). After a terrorist attack kills Dani’s aunt and unborn cousin, life in Argentina – private school, a boyfriend, a loving family – crumbles quickly. In order to escape a country that is sinking under their feet, Dani and her family move to the United States. It’s supposed to be a fresh start, but when you’re living in a cramped apartment and going to high school where all the classes are in another language, and not everyone is friendly, life in America is not all it’s cracked up to be. Dani misses her old friends, her life, “Before.” But then Dani meets a boy named Jon, who isn’t like all the other students.
