Starbucks to Sell Oral History Book, CD

SEATTLE -

Starbucks Corp. said Tuesday it will start selling its third book, a collection of 50 stories in an oral history project compiled on book and CD.

Edited by Peabody Award winner Dave Isay, "Listening Is An Act of Love: A Celebration of American Lives from the StoryCorps Project" will go on sale at Starbucks (nasdaq: SBUX - news - people )' company-operated U.S. stores beginning Nov. 8, the company said.

First-person accounts of daily life from StoryCorps contributors are broadcast every Friday on National Public Radio's Morning Edition program. The collection is archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

"There are so many genuine stories, spoken with such passion and character, that it was difficult to narrow the selection," Isay said in a statement released by Starbucks.

Starbucks started selling books last fall with Mitch Albom's "For One More Day," followed by "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" by Sierra Leone native Ishmael Beah earlier this year.
