Sorry - ordering online is gone

Sorry to report that Google announced that they won't allow independent bookshops to sell Google ebooks in the near future. So unfortunately, you can't get your Google ebooks through our website anymore. This has also forced us to eliminate all book ordering through the website. We bought the book-ordering function of our website through the American Booksellers Association. The association says they'll have a plan in place for ebooks in the future. Once that's in place, we'll look into bringing back online book orders.

You can get your Google ebooks directly from Google.

Ordering books to pick up at the shop. For the many people who ordered books through the website to pick up at the store (which we appreciate SO MUCH!), you can still do that using email. Just email your book order to bookerynook @ yahoo.com (without the spaces). Include your name, phone number, book title, and author (you can also call us to order books at 303-433-3439). We'll call you as soon as the book comes in!

The 3/50 Project

It's tough out there. This is the worst economic times of my generation. It's tough on the individual and it's tough on businesses. In particular (I bet you saw where this was going), it's tough on the independently owned shops in your neighborhood. We came across a website (and a movement) that's trying to educate people to the dangers for small businesses, but more importantly, on how each of us can make sure our favorite little shop is around this time next year. It's called:

The 3/50 Project

So what does 3/50 mean? Read on...

3 - What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick something up that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

50 - If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if ¾ of the population did that.

68 - For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend at a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1 - The number of people it takes to start a trend... you.

Pick 3.


Spend 50.

Save your local economy.
