End of Summer Sale Cart and Other New and "New" Old Books

 

Bargain cart book prices reduced again!

I have a rolling cart of books that have been priced at three dollars each, four for $10, but the cart is getting too full, so starting TODAY, books on the cart are only a dollar each ($1/book). There are all kinds -- very old and nearly new, cookbooks, novels, etc., etc. This is a fun way to shop, so come on down!

Note, however, that the bookstore will be closed on Friday, August 30, but I'll be back for Saturday and Sunday of that Labor Day weekend. Can you believe it will be Labor Day weekend so soon?

This has been my bookiest summer ever, with boxes of printed treasures arriving and departing daily. Below is a tiny sample of my current new and newly restocked and newly arrived old books, all ready to go to good, loving homes.

The Book Program for July in Northport

Beginning Tuesday, July 9, Dog Ears Books will be closing at 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoons for the month of July. Your bookseller will be found those evenings (with books to sell) at the Willowbrook Inn, where the Leelanau Township Friends of the Library Summer Author Series will take place. 

 

All Summer Author Series events at the Willowbrook begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 and cash bar. On the first evening, I will be interviewing author Don Lystra. We will discuss fiction writing in general, and I’ll ask him some questions about his latest book, Searching for Van Gogh, a coming-of-age story set in Michigan in the 1960s. 

Please join us!

They are HERE NOW!!!

 

Canvas book bags commemorating our over 30 years in business (30 in July 2023, so over 200 dog years, my friends) are available now at the bookstore in Northport. They are $12 each, plus sales tax, so $12.72 per bag. 

I am very happy to have the bags in time for this coming Monday's Earth Day, as they are in keeping with the 2024 Earth Day theme, "Planet vs. Plastics." They will be equally appropriate on Saturday, April 27, Independent Bookstore Day, and every day thereafter! 

(If you absolutely cannot come to the bookstore but want one or more book bags, please do NOT send me your credit card #! Instead, a check or money order mailed to Dog Ears Books, P.O. Box 272, Northport, MI 49670 will reach me. Please include $3 for an order of 1-3 bags, $5 for 4-6. Thank you. -- And don't forget your mailing address!)

Please note: If you come in person and clip out and bring with you my ad in this week's Enterprise, you are entitled to a $1 discount per bag. Open Wednesday through Saturday, 11-3 and usually longer on Saturdays. OPEN MONDAY, APRIL 22, 11-3, FOR EARTH DAY!!!

Coming Soon --and I'm Excited!

Monday, April 22 - Earth Day

 

Saturday, April 27 - Indie Bookstore Day

Mon., 4/22. Not usually open on Mondays, the bookstore in Northport will be open for Earth Day 2024, with beautiful new canvas book bags ($12) in honor of this year's Earth Day theme, "Planet vs. Plastics." 

Sat., 4/27. The new book bags will be equally appropriate on the following Saturday, Indie Bookstore Day (which I've missed by being out-of-state the past few years, but this year I'll be here), and every day into the future!  

Plan to celebrate these happy days with us, please. And thank you!

What Do You Think? Suggestions Welcome

It's time for new book bags and t-shirts at Dog Ears Books. I'm thinking a soft cream color with sage green letters. What do you think?
