Bookends

Bookends Bookends is a general used book store in the Bowl-A-Roll Plaza on Jefferson Road near Winton Road, in Henrietta. I neither buy nor sell textbooks.

While we try to keep a wide range of fiction on hand, from classics old and new, through mystery, romance, horror and sci-fi/fantasy, we also maintain a large variety of non-fiction and poetry. The history and art sections are probably the most extensive of any independent bookstore in Monroe County. Bookends does not buy or sell textbooks.

Remember! Bookends will be CLOSED Monday-Wednesday, June 8-10. The floor will be less crazy on Thursday when we all get back.

The thought right now is that I will take a few days-- specifically June 8, 9, & 10-- and close the store in order to clear up a significant portion of the mess which Bookends is today.

I'll keep you (and others) posted.

Get it?

"Post"ed?

Someone asked for copies of The Book Thief a bit (shorter than an a while) ago. I came across two yesterday, if she's still looking (or if you are).

What a day! No phone, no internet service.

If you called on Friday, I don't know what the phone company told you. I was here all day, and the phone didn't work (even my cell phone apparently received a call but wouldn't ring.

Etc.

A Spectrum guy arrived just before 6:30 and had me fixed in about 5 minutes.

I'll be here tomorrow at 11. My phone should work. My internet should work.

I may get some work done myself!

As always, thank you for your patience.

To anyone who may have come to Bookends before noon on Tuesday, 5/5, I apologize. I had a longish day with the Notorious DMV, but it was almost entirely my fault.

Anyway, I'm on the road legally again.

For a long time, I was a pretty good driver. I don't say that now. Still competent, but not what I'd call "pretty good."

It's about time, kids.

Art books mostly 1/2 off for a week or so.
