Special Orders Are
Baaaaack!
We will
finally be able to order those books you want. We will place orders every
Tuesday and they should arrive every Friday. That means the cut off for taking
orders will be Monday at noon to get your book by that Friday. Of course, we
will work with you if there are special circumstances.
Generally Hangin’
In
We cannot
thank you enough for hanging in there with us during this crummy economic
episode. Rumors of recovery keep whistling by and we keep reaching for them.
Let’s hope the talking heads (newscasters and politicians) know what they are
talking about. We hope the best for everyone; it has been tight for all. Our
recovery would mean a return to our former self with new releases, full shelves
and the happy register ding. What's that bumper sticker? 'Visualize Book Mania'?
Remember
the Frequent Buyer program, too. For every $100.00 you spend, you get a $15.00
Gift Certificate. If you have not been in for a while, come back and see us,
soon! Let’s hang in together.
