The perfect gift for bookworms!

Are you looking for the right gift for the voracious readers in your life? RiverRun Bookstore recently launched a Signed First Editions Club.  Members receive an autographed copy of an important new work of fiction or nonfiction every month.  The cost is no more than the retail price of the book plus shipping; or you can pick it up in the store.  Sign up for a year and get free shipping!

You can buy a membership for yourself or someone else.  We send an e-mail out to members once a month letting them know about the current selection. You can always opt out if you don't want the featured book. 

So far we've offered signed copies of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo's That Old Cape Magic, Lorrie Moore's A Gate at the Stairs, and the December pick is Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna. 

How ya feelin'?

Don't be offended if you see me washing my hands after waiting on you this holiday season.  There's some serious stuff going around out there, and I can't afford to get sick.

This has been a tough year.  As always, December is our most important month.  Last year we got clobbered by the ice storm and a whole lot of snow.  This year it looks like the flu might be our nemesis.  So I'm taking lots of Vitamin C and encouraging staff members to take care of themselves.  And you too!

If you can't make it into the store due to sickness, or any other reason (like a broken bridge!), don't forget that when you buy books here on our website, the shipping is on us.  Just click on the button on the lower right of your screen that says "Buy Books Online".

If you aren't quarantined, we'd love to see you for holiday shopping.  We love to make recommendations, and we gift wrap for free.  We also like it when you bring us cookies.
