Fall brings out the best in book publishers and their authors! We will highlight as many “new and notable” books this month and in November and December…and hopefully make your holiday shopping easier.

Being supportive of the independents, the “indies” in Greeley is the most important decision that you will make during the change in our economic structure and in our presidency. But…just going to a “dot.com” entity…or NOT voting, takes away our ability to sustain our local economy and move our country in a new direction. We thank you as always for taking
the time to call or stop by with your book choices, and your conversation.

STARTING IN NOVBEMBER WE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL 5:00PM ON SAURDAYS…AND FROM NOON UNTIL 4:00PM ON SUNDAYS

Hopefully, being committed to change is not just rhetoric from all political parties involved in this fall’s election. Making choices from “sound bites…comedy shows…and news streamed across our home page in one or two sentences”…HOPEFULLY our populace is NOT doing this but instead is reading entire speeches, listening to entire debates, and reading entire books before choosing their “change-maker.” Leading by example would probably be a great idea, don’t you think?

We will continue to stock books for both party’s candidates as they are published…though, at this point…one party has more titles than the other. We keep looking…any suggestions?

Get ready! We have some “marvelous” events planned for the upcoming months… and before you know it, we will
have the store decorated for the holidays! (oh, dear!!) Some of you are taking advantages of our great summer sales and getting early holiday shopping done… our front table has great paperbacks (buy 2 and get 1 free) and all of our gardening books are 25% off through August.

Mother’s Day, Graduation, summer reading…oh, and free cookies on Fridays…guess there are many reasons to stop by our shop! Thanks for supporting your local, independent bookstore! A few events this month and next, with many new books just being published will keep us busy with friends and new faces! We will be closed on Monday, May 26.

This is a busy month at all bookstores! (Maybe it was good that Easter surprised us…last month!) It seems that publishers have saved their “best and biggest” titles for the spring. Our store has new events and offerings as well…and, as always…we THANK YOU for supporting our cozy and INDEPENDENT bookstore!

If our January “resolutions” have expired and gone…I guess that during this time of birth and new beginnings, we can… (I hope) begin again!

More sunlight buds appearing and not so many layers give us hope in March! So, have we kept our promise to read a new author, a new genre…a debut novel? Maybe we can help! As we take time to “spring clean” in our wonderful little shop, we have placed an assortment of titles on our “Back-Door” table, and they are all 50% off during the month of March and April. Lots of chairs close by so bring your coffee and browse for as long as you’d like!

We have a large selection of Easter Books! Don’t forget that Easter is March 23rd!!

Thank you to so many loyal supporters…our author event, featuring Binka Le Breton was well-attended! Binka read and discussed her book, THE GREATEST GIFT, and left us all with a feeling that there is need to become involved with the tragedy occurring in the Amazon Rainforest.

We have books signed by Binka at the store, with quantities limited.

And…if you have the time, visit the Partners of the Americas website: www.partners.net and the local chapter website: www.coloradominaspartners.home.comcast

A special thank you to Steve and Jan Waechter for bringing Binka to our store, and to Betty and Roger Brown for their support in “getting the word out” about our signing. Oh, and stop by the Sod Buster Bed and Breakfast as Steve and Jan are the new owners!

How do we begin to “Resolve?” There seems to be so many ideas, goals, and fervor pulling at us in this New Year! But…the excitement is building towards a new president, a new approach to health…and even, a new approach to being informed. Whether you have “resolved” to learn more about an issue/candidate, enroll in a continuing education class, participate in a book discussion, or learn a new hobby…it all begins with reading! We want to be a part of your 2008 goals for mental and physical health…stop by and begin it all at
An Open Book LLC!

What a beautiful season with so many customers, both old and new, choosing to visit our little bookshop, with the thought of finding a perfect gift for someone special. A book will hold lasting memories. We have the titles and the expertise to help you in your search! What a lucky occupation we have…getting to talk to so many happy, literate and knowledgeable book buyers.

Your faithful support during 2007 gives our bookshop the knowledge that we will have a wonderful and 2008!!
Thank you!

The leaves are turning, as our pages do the same. This store of mine has become your store also. We continue to meet such lovely people…all with a dedication to reading. Thank you for making this bookstore a “home away from home.”

On WEDNESDAY, November 21, we will be open until NOON and THURSDAY, November 22, we will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. Extended hours…until 8:00PM on Friday and Saturday (Nov. 23, 24)
