A Few Kind Word Are Much Appreciated

We're so happy to share this lovely note from our customer B.G. in Palatine, Illinois:

I enjoyed Alexander McCall Smith's visit to your store. How wonderful of your store to sponsor a visit from such an acclaimed and delightful writer! Please add my email address to your mailing list. It's worth the trip to Winnetka for me to attend some of your events.

Even in the very busy atmosphere of Mr. Smith's visit, every staff person I encountered thanked me for my purchase and for attending the book signing! It’s so rare to get a sincere “thank you” from shops these days.

Now its fans have the opportunity to meet its delightful co-author, ANNIE BARROWS and to contribute to a very worthy cause in the process.

Ms. Barrows will be the featured speaker at the 9th annual “Honor Thy Mother” luncheon on Saturday, May 9, at the DoubleTree Hotel, 9599 Skokie Blvd., Skokie).

It benefits Literature for All of Us, a nationally recognized, award-winning literacy organization that brings the rewards of reading and writing to young people in the Chicago area. Over the years, this event has been a wonderful gathering that celebrates mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, daughters, sisters, friends, teachers, mentors, and caretakers who have made a loving and important difference in our lives.
