Are you an explorer?

 

In addition to the usual new postcards and a box of old $1 postcards, I also have a small collection of other vintage cards in the $2-6 range. The two Orson Peck cards above, $5 each, show unpaved road leading from Traverse City up along West Bay into Leelanau County (top) and then east and north along East Bay, and I don't imagine these cards will be here long.

Jigsaw puzzles of 500 and 1000 pieces have been in stock all winter, but now is the time for the trillium puzzle, and you'll want to stretch out this beautiful time of year when we get some rainy days.

Always, of course, lots and lots of books -- new, used, classics, unusual -- they are the reason for our being. Additions to store stock arrive constantly, and next week will bring a wonderful new surprise, so stay tuned and/or drop in. 

You don't have to have a specific title in mind to visit a bookstore. In fact, it's much better if you come with an open mind and a willingness to explore, because often you don't know what you want until you and it find each other. 

Reminder: Poet Fleda Brown will be here to read from her new chapbook, Doctor of the World, and to answer questions and generally visit with audience at noon on Friday, May 23. This will be a casual (free) event, so feel free to bring a sack lunch. Hope to see you here!
