Oooh, I want me one of these!!!
Wouldn't a couple of these be fantastic in the front window? Going to have to start harassing our handyman to build us a couple of these.
Best Front Counter Ever
As I consider various possibilities for a revamped front counter, I have to admit that this one is really vying for my attention:
Yeah, I know... pretty cool, right?
Bookish Fashion?
What is even cooler than being seen reading twenty century classic literature? Why wearing it of course! However, if I may, a word of caution to young hipsters out there. Never wear a book cover t-shirt of a book you haven't read. Some retired English teacher will quiz you on it.
We are looking into bringing these fine duds into the bookstore for your buying pleasure.... stay tuned!
Books are the Ultimate Weapon
Images like this one, hold the truth of the matter in their very essence.
Books are a thousand more effective than any weapon of war or destruction in changing the world that we live in. The potential for limitless education, empowerment, and the opening of both mind and soul all lie within the confines of the covers of a book. Literacy is the ultimate "weapon" in a fight for freedom, equality, peace and happiness that many of us fight on a daily basis.
Biggest Pop Up Books Ever
"This is the biggest pop-up book I've ever seen!"
"This book, here?"
"Yeah... this one!"
We gotta get us one of these!
How's this for the best toilet paper holder ever?
Why didn't we think of this?
All that needs to be added here is a fridge!
