Hi folks!

                So guess who won “Best Book Store in Wallingford” in Seattle Magazine’s Best of 2012? We did! Check us out in the December issue of Seattle Magazine, which lists the best of all your favorite neighborhoods, including Wallingford!

     Christmas is approaching-do you need a picture book recommendation for a 4-8 year old? How about The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce? Which is one of our staff picks and is the story that inspired the Academy-Award winning short film of 2010. It is a very touching story and Joyce’s most personal story of his career to date. (Here is the link to the movie if you would like to see the film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vftMo1-cfWE)

               “Morris Lessmore loved words. He loved stories. He loved books. But every story has its upsets. Everything in Morris Lessmore’s life, including his own story, is scattered to the winds. But the power of story will save the day".

               Also, we have a trade for store credit announcment.. Our trading days for the rest of this month is: 12/15 from 10-3, NO TRADES on 12/22 and on 12/29 from 10-3.
