The Campus Bookstore has selected Nick Hornby’s new novel Funny Girl as its Book of the Week.

Hornby is best known as the author of High Fidelity, About a Boy and Fever Pitch, all of which were made into Hollywood movies. Funny Girl is the story of a British beauty queen who returns her crown because she wants to be a comedienne—like her heroine Lucille Ball.

The book’s list price is $32; the Campus Bookstore will sell it for $20.06 through Monday, April 27.

Marketing coordinator Martin Deck reminds patrons that the store will match the price of all books with those offered by amazon.ca and chapters.indigo.ca. Read more on the Campus Bookstore website.
