Beautiful Books, Locally Available

Some of our most beautiful books have 'come in from the cold' of the Amazon website for the upcoming Semi-Annual Used Book Sale. (Actually the heat -- our site really SELLS!) And although our Amazon storefront is more successful than we ever imagined it might be, we do believe that our local buyers are our mainstay, and we want to give you the benefit of being able to purchase these books during the book sale.

In fact, we like you so much that you get them at a lower price than on Amazon! We'll be posting some prices in the next few days. In the meantime, take a look at these beauties. See something you like? E-mail us at restonfriendspr@gmail.com

The books:

Spectacular: The Story of Epic Films. Oversized with Spiral Binding. By Castle Books (1974)

The Rhine: From Its Source to the Sea. Two volumes. Absolutely exquisite bindings. The ultimate gift for a lover of European history!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: An Authorized Book. Published in conjunction with the first release of the classic Disney movie. This paperback is about the size of a classic child's coloring book, but it's no coloring book! It is in beautiful condition, a paperback from 1938. This is the perfect holiday gift for a Disney collector!

Urp! We're Stuffed!

Thank you

for all of the donations, but we're stuffed! Our shed has overflowed (picture 2) to a generous Friend's storage unit. Our sorting hallway (picture 1) has only a few shelves with room left on them. And our 'behind the back door' storage is chock full of books on tape, CD's, and DVD's.

So, PLEASE, no more donations until October 4.

The good news about our over-stuffed status is that all of the boxes equate to lots and lots and lots of books coming out on the floor during the book sale. We'll keep rolling the boxes out, hour by hour, day by day!

So shop early and shop often! Bring your checks, cash or ATM card (there's a machine at the library). We don't take credit cards.
