Blue Ridge Booksellers

What's New is something old, tried, true and tested...We are closing our shop for the week 0f Aug. 26th - Sept. 3rd. Locked, Lights turned off, etc.

When we come back, on the 4th, we will, to some look exactly the same as before...except for the books, they are never the same. They are always better and more of them...though it will be as hard as normal to find exactly what you are looking for.

I call this; "time off." A vacation if you will, but with thoughts never far from the store. When we come back for the first time in our history there will be art-work and signage! Never had that before...I wonder if differences will be made in the nature of some people that believe we are one of those stores that sells things other than can be seen through large windows...or as Siri still believes; is a liquor store. HAPPY LABOR DAY! See You Soon!

Thanks for checking in!...Always more to see!
My Girlfriend told me emphatically that I must begin using FB again and write things...She said it doesn't take long and so many social media users may find this bookstore who would not ordinarily find the bookstore. I asked if next I must also begin answering the phone??? Thanks, Shanti!

...Made a mistake today - while watching my little tiny bit of GDP, in stasis, decorating the wrong bookshelves, listening to a noiseless lull in movement, inventorying a mountain of unmined treasure - welling - languishing - waiting for an affable treasure hunter...I reread...accidently..."Of Mice and men." Not a pleasant reminder of Depression era hopelessness...but amazing pace, scripting and symbolism of Depression era meaninglessness. I have had a dose. I wants no more! Come help me cast off this inertia! Buy a freaking Book!!!
