Reminder: The A.V. Club has a book out next week. Also: There will be readings. And a party.

Okay, we promise to stop flogging our awesome, soon-to-be-released book Inventory: 16 Films Featuring Manic Pixie Dream Girls, 10 Great Songs Nearly Ruined By Saxophone, And 100 More Obsessively Specific Pop-Culture Lists at some point… but not yet. A few relevant facts:
1) It hits bookstores next Tuesday, October 13.
3) It’s 256 pages long
4) It weights 1.2 pounds
5) The Office’s Mindy Kaling says: “I'm going to put this awesome book on my coffee table so when people come over they'll think I'm fun, clever, and sophisticated, but charmingly populist. And when they see my name on the back cover, they'll also think I'm famous!”
But wait! There’s more. The A.V. Club will soon be making some appearances at a bookstore near you (assuming you live in Illinois or Wisconsin) and throwing a tremendous party that you can attend (assuming you can get to Chicago next Tuesday). Want to know more? Here you go:
