Halloween is here and so are some cool items.

Hello All. Still here despite not having posted anything recently. New people find the store everyday due to great referrals and the store's reputation, so keep spreading the word. You are the best patrons and this is your local bookstore, help make sure it stays here. And while I'm not one to overdose on social media (don't like it all that much actually), there are some things needing mention.

#1 being that current hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-2. After nearly 3 years of daily work including Sundays and many Holidays, I decided I needed 2 days in a row for myself.

#2 This is also partially due to the fact that Chris, indispensable with the tedious work of inventory and organization as well as sales--again almost every day for the last 3 years--has moved on to bigger things, namely marriage and moving. She may pop up on a rare occasion to help out.

#3 Many of you have already met my 2 very able helpers, Lydia and Carrie.
