This year, we're moving the Annual Rabelais Book Sale to July. Previously, we've held it alternately in the winter or in the spring, but so many of our regular summer customers have asked for a summer sale that this year it will be: Saturday, July 27th 11am-4pm. As in previous years, we will have hundreds of books on tables, each priced $1, $3, or $5. Some of these books we have too many copies of, others are lightly dinged. Included will be some great imports and loads of books from the collections we've been buying lately. And everything else in the store is 25% off (under $200), and 20% off ($200 and over). And new this time, for the serious cookbook fan, we will have a special table of 'reading copies' of rare cookbooks in less than collector's condition, including many 19th century books. These books will be priced individually, but at much lower prices than you might pay for the same books in very good or fine condition. You can own an early Mrs. Beeton, or Kitchiner's The Cook's Oracle, for less than the cost of a single modern cookbook! So see you at the sale. We will have boxes, or you can bring shopping bags. No early birds! ~~~
