A few quick tid-bits. We have altered our opening hours. Weekends we now open only at 12:00pm. To be honest, this is being done purely for selfish reasons. It will allow me to live a little, perhaps do some hiking on Sat. mornings. Mondays we will be closing a little earlier in order to streamline our hours making it easy to remember. Tuesday - Friday 8:30am - 8:30pm, Saturday - Monday 12:00pm - 5:00pm.

We have a bunch of Ann Rule books that came in this weekend. If your a fan come and get them. Her books never last too long.

It was a fairly quiet day at the shop today. Quiet is sometimes a good thing for a bookshop, well for my bookshop. It gives me a chance to put more books 'into the system'. We have a fairly constant supply of books lying around just waiting to get noticed. Noticed meaning either getting put into our database and thus onto the dozen or so Internet sites we sell on (the grandest spot for a Zeeba Book), or priced and shelved, or -insert name of diety here- forbid tossed into the box destined for the thrift shop..and of course a few moldy/torn has-been books find the recycling bin.

Zeeba Books has a new employee. John Goodman will be under the microscope for a few weeks. I'm sure he'll do well. Charlotte will be away most of the summer and we'll be needing some extra help.

Our store name appeared in the Canadian Booksellers Association's magazine under the list of new members. Slowly but surely I'm beginning to feel like a real bookman. Feels Good!
