MILK EGGS VODKA [By Bill Keaggy]

Yep. It’s been a while. But didn’t think I would stop blathering on about my book, did you? Check out the latest press/etc mentions…

From an interview with me at Orato:

I saw a story on the BBC the other day about a 300-year-old shopping list that had been found in the UK. For some weird reason, I started Googling “shopping lists” and stumbled upon grocerylists.org, owned and operated by a man named Bill Keaggy. Not only was he running this insanely entertaining website, but he had published a book, Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost And Found, which featured the very best of his grocery list collection! I found myself more interested in shopping lists than I ever thought I could be, and strangely satisfied, in a voyeuristic kind of way, by this little peep into other people’s lives. Who was this man? I just had to know, so I phoned him – here’s what he told me.

A 2007 books roundup from the Akron Beacon-Journal (now behind the stupid newspaper paywall — boo!):

Authors with area connections came through with fine work this year. Here’s a look at some of the best.

At Lifehacker: Never Forget an Item at the Supermarket:

Never forget to buy anything the next time you stop at the supermarket with the “Ultimatest Grocery list.” …For a comprehensive list that should cover anything you need on your trip to the food mart, this one’s it.

From the Real Life Survival Guide radio show on WNPR:

…it’s just a eight and a half by eleven sheet that has a lot of different products on it, pretty well sorted into the department that you’re gonna find in most grocery stores…

The Ultimatest Grocery List was featured in “Milk Eggs Vodka” and is available on the grocerylists.org site. btw, it’s good to know that the fine students at MIT have access to some quality study materials.
