We've been in our new digs here for
five years now, and we're just beginning to feel the growing pains
every bookseller feels when the shelf extenders cease to do their magic
to make one more book fit on a shelf. So now that we're entering
the
dog-days of August we
decided to offer a special
month-long 20% off sale on all fiction! That's
right,
come in anytime in August and chop 20% off general fiction prices (most
are already 50% off current retail price, so it's a great deal!).
AND,
to make it even better, Shaker Heights has decapitated the parking
meters on the Shaker side of Larchmere, so parking in front of
Loganberry is currently free! (Can't tell you what
new
heads these meters might grow, but take advantage of the freebie while
you can.)Stump
the Bookseller I have a vague memory of a character (probably teen) who wanted to buy books, specifically Dickens. The titles may have been David Copperfield / Martin Chuzzewit. To fund her reading, she used her legs as leech bait. She wanted to sell leeches. L'Atelier
d'Arte: Objet
d'Arte Annex Gallery Opening Reception Thursday, August 7, 6-8pm ~ first Thursdays ~ Gene's
Jazz
Hot: In Concert Thursday, August 14, 6:30pm-9:00pm ~ second Thursdays ~ Gene's Jazz Hot features Gene
Epstein on bass, Seth Rosen on guitar and
mandolin, Bill Kenney on clarinet, and the swooning vocals of Peggi
Cella. Call it swing, call it jazz, or just call it sweet divine
and
come take a load off while listening to a hometown favorite
band. Donations
for the band
gladly accepted.
Jack Belcher: Limited Editions Club N.O.B.S. Forums Thursday, August 21, 7pm ~ third Thursdays ~ The Limited
Editions Club commissioned
famous
artists to illustrate old classics, and then issued them on top-quality
paper and printing and in beautiful bindings. All were numbered
and
signed by the illustrator (sometimes by the book designer), and
available only by subscription. Begun in 1929, the club soon
earned a
devoted following, and has since become quite desirable amongst
collectors. But they're all different, and there is a range of
quality
and rarity in the LEC history. Presentation by Jack Belcher,
longtime
NOBS member and LEC collector. $3
suggested donation.
Austeniana ClubThursday, August 28, 7pm ~ fourth Thursdays ~ Jane Austen
sequels and spin-offs
abound in
recent years, but the earliest one we've found was published in 1913, a
good hundred years after Austen's death. Old Friends and
New
Fancies by Sybil
G. Brinton also distinguishes itself by not being a mere sequel to
just one of Austen's novels, but a conglomerative extension of all six,
where the characters interact, snub, and of course marry across novel
boundaries. What a treat! Hmm... Georgiana Darcy and
William Price
or Tom Bertram, perhaps? I'm not telling. Books are
available now at
Loganberry; there's time enough to read it before the meeting on August
28th.
Bloomsday Book
Club Thursday, August 28,
7pm
The Bloomsday Club tackles Chapter
13 of James Joyce's Ulysses. Novices
and veterans alike are
welcome --
it's a small informal group. We've been going at Ulysses
in a
slow methodical way for a year and a half now, and we're about half-way
through! Some members of the group claim they'll finish this book
if
it kills them, others aren't sure if it won't just kill them, but the
company is good, and we're sure there's a prize at the end. There
is a
prize, isn't there? ~ fourth Thursdays ~ It only happens twice a year: the grand sidewalk sale of Larchmere Boulevard, with sales and specials galore. With over 40 independent merchants, there's something for everyone, and a great sample of local businesses at work. 20% off all books at Loganberry Books! Come for the sales, stay for the ambiance. |
