Dear Folks,

       This Saturday is October 1 and marks the beginning of that wonderful month, as least as we observe the calendar, of BOOKtober (our staff etymologist found that was the original Olde English name for the month & it marked the month of the thinning of the book crop).  So, to do our part, our 30% OFF SALE, ALL BOOKS, ALL OCTOBER commences.  There will be more about all of our October celebrations coming soon but this is advance warning to shop early and beat the hordes. Cynthia and Alice will be eager to wait on you on Saturday from 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

   I, on the other hand, will be in another state entirely - New Jersey - at the Collingswood Book Festival. I'm hoping the weather forecast is right and that I and my books don't get wet. If you're in the area, please drop by and see me. Maybe you could even watch the booth while I run to the bathroom. Doing an outdoor show by yourself has its challenges !  For details click the logo to the right.

     Finally, I'd like to recommend that you consider going to the open studio of one of our regular customers, Fiametta Rubin, who has an open studio this Saturday and Sunday from 12-6 as part of POST.  Here is a link to POST and a link to her website, rubinartstudio.com.  Her address is 415 West Moreland, just off of St. Martin's Lane. We've been in her studio and her art is really quite amazing. Maybe we'll see you there.

Hope to see lots of you during the Harvest.

Greg and Cynthia
