You Won't Believe All the Great New Books!

It's another huge week in the publishing world. Lots of eagerly awaited books out -- some for the first time and some newly in paperback. Here's just a smattering of what we received and shelved yesterday (plus a few that came last week, since I've been sorely remiss in my blogging of late -- copious apologies). If you click on each title it will take you to our website, where you can read more about each book and place an order if you wish. If you want to pick your order up at the store, just select "pay at store" and "pick up at store" as your options. We've got a bunch of wonderful new titles in for younger readers as well -- including a few by local authors -- that I'll be telling you about shortly.
