AND...for those of you who have wondered, I will report on the State of the Bookstore over the weekend.

St. Johns Booksellers loves St. Johns on snowy days: traffic noise hushed by the white blanket, passersby laughing at the snowflakes in their eyelashes, the Store Twins begging to play outside. Watch for snowballs if you visit!

What timing; returned home Tuesday to savor my treasures purchased, as the first flakes started to fall. As though a higher power was telling me, "Snuggle and read! Read! Read!"

St. Johns Booksellers All-Classical 89.9 is playing the whole of Bach's Magnificat in D--just got to the "Gloria." Lana is restoring order in the Children's section, and I will shortly put the "boxing" in Boxing Day with a fresh attack on random boxes.

St. Johns Booksellers is closed today so that we all may keep the feast of Christmas in our varied fashions. (In our case, it involves a literal feast.) Mercie secure ye all, and we'll see you tomorrow.

St. Johns Booksellers is amused--Lana & Denise are playing through a Jane Austen Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book! Hint--go to the party or your story will be very short.

From handmade bead earrings to carol singing to Sin Dawg strudel, the last week has been one sweet surprise after another from our neighbors. You people make this bookstore so much more than a business.

St. Johns Booksellers must be blunt. Our sales this month have been so low that it will take extraordinary improvement to assure that we can pay all our bills. One day last week we barely made $200...a little pickup over the weekend came very late. With 3 days left to Christmas, and 7 business days left in the month, we must earn $6000. ... Can we do it? If each unique member of this page and our mailing list spends $20 in-store, yes.

Nena," The Book of Smiles" was the perfect gift! My friend loved it. There is no better place to shop for a discerning friend than The St. Johns Booksellers.

I'm so glad that went over well, Debilyn! It's a sweet little book--a pity it's out of print.

St. Johns Booksellers sleeps, but Nena is awake, assembling the morning's order batch. Want anything for in-store pickup Tuesday afternoon? Request it here by 11am Monday, and I'll see if it's at the nearest distributor location.

I don't need them ASAP, but our family is reading the Harry Potter series together this year. If you run across used copies of books 2-7 drop me a line. Thanks!
