It’s Finally Official
Posted in Uncategorized on May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I know I’ve promised lots of maybe whens here, but I’ve finally got a date that I honestly, truly believe will be opening day back on Main St. June 13. It’s going to happen. We will be selling books at 44 Main St on June 13.
This will still be a soft opening for us, so when you [...]
Welcome home, books.

I spent this afternoon doing my first serious shelving back at the big store. This is something I’ve been waiting for with an anticipation so sharp my stomach aches a little.
We’ve had so many sweet offers of help for shelving the books (and thank you all, we appreciate it so much), but I admit, I’ve wanted [...]
Main Street Update

Hi guys,
Just wanted to let everyone know the status… as always, there are a lot of factors not in our control, so none of these are promises, only hopes.
We hope to be open on Main St on June 6 (again, please keep checking back because there’s still a lot to be done between now and [...]
AND THEY’RE OFF

(Cindy Pierson Dulay at www.horse-races.com)
Today is the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness. I thought it would be appropriate to write about horse books.
My daughter has long been a horsewoman. When she was younger, I helped let the horses out, bought the grain, got up long before the crack of dawn to make breakfast [...]

This morning I had a discussion with a customer, sharing our mutual love for Wait, Wait.. Don’t Tell Me. This segued into This American Life love, and she admitted that she’s always thought she could be good friends with Ira Glass and has imagined going for coffee with him.
I know exactly what she’s talking about. There [...]
Mom

It’s Mother’s Day. First I’ll say something for the Moms at the BoG. Karen is living her first Mother’s Day without her daughter on Island… Dawn is experiencing her first Mother’s Day with a son serving in Afghanistan, as well as her first as a Grandmother.
Happy Mother’s Day, Dawn and Karen, our hearts are with [...]
Hopelessly Devoted to Me

This Tuesday, we opened our box of The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet. I had been waiting for this one… I’d heard growing buzz on twitter and it sounded like just my kind of book.
I’m ashamed to admit how rarely these days I stray from the kids’ section, so for a grown up book to [...]
Coming Soon Part 2….

Well, never say bookselling isn’t exciting…
Since my last update (how many days ago?) things have already changed a bit… Due to a couple things completely out of our control, beginning of June is now looking more likely for the opening on Main St. And since we want something to be open for our Memorial Day [...]
Coming Soon to a Bunch of Grapes Near You

Every time I feel guilty lately about not posting enough to the blog, I remember it’s because I’m working on getting the Main St store ready. I’d rather have books in the store when we re-open than one more blog post… but today I’m going to give everyone a little tease of some of the [...]
