Festivity-wise, we're inviting everyone to our Holiday Party on Sunday, December 13th from 11-3. Food-wise, we'll have massive cheese trays (MCTs) and other special treats. Also keep your eye out for special holiday sales on gift items. We're prepared to suggest a book for any type of person who exists in your family (or "the whole catastrophe"). Here's a few examples of our favorite holiday books and the people who'd love to read them.
Creative types? Try WHAT IT IS by Lynda Barry, an inspiring collection of painting, collage and text.
THE SCRIBBLE BOOK by Herve Tullet is excellent for younger imaginations. Tullet's freewheeling sketches are meant to provoke children to elaborate and decorate what's on the page.
Historical fiction fans? If they're true history lovers, pick up WOLF HALL by Hilary Mantel, who describes the often written about Henry VIII in a truly original way. She won the Booker Prize for this novel.
Foodies? We've got a takeout menu organizer, a selection of cooking memoirs, and this season's most-anticipated cookbook, MOMOFUKU. Also check out our newly-expanded used cookbook section. For a limited time, these cookbooks are on sale: hardcovers cost $5.95, and paperbacks just $3.49! YUM!
Wellington Square Bookshop also specializes in rare and collectible books, and we have an astonishing collection of signed first edition treasures. Ask to peruse the rare book room or take a look at our contemporary collectibles in the back area of the store.
And remember-- we can order any book for you-- new or used! New books arrive in the shop every couple of days.
