NEW INFORMATION:
Thanks so much for all of you who ordered books during the Cinco de Mayo sale -- I'm going to try some other promotions that will be specific to my website in the near future -- keep an eye out for them (as soon as I dream them up!).
In other news (SAD NEWS) - one of the great masters of children's fiction has died. Maurice Sendak was the author of numerous titles -- the most well known (probably) was Where the Wild Things Are. He will be greatly missed.
The blog updates are being done almost regularly now. I am generally skipping the weekends (my kids take over the computer and I have housework that needs to be done anyway so it's probably for the best at the moment). Here's a link to the blog, in case you'd like to check it out: This Old Book Blog. If you like it - why not follow the blog. I'm trying to add new followers. If you have a particular topic / subject / genre you'd like covered, just drop a comment there and I'll see what I can do.
I also have a Facebook presence. I've been trying to list new books there on a regular basis -- some just for fun, others are new books added to the online stock. Here's the link to my site: Steph's Facebook page. I'd love to add some more followers there too.
I've uploaded my newest occasional list to the website -- I'm currently featuring a small collection of Illustrated Editions / children's books that I've taken on consignment. Both I and the consignor would like the books to go to good homes. Here's a link to the list: Occasional List #1.
If you're interested to learn more about consignments, consigning items or selling interesting books, please send me a quick email. Maybe I'll even write a blog post about this process -- just because.
