Arson, after all, is an artificial crime…A large number of books deserve to be burnt.

I snapped this photo tonight at First Friday where we had an amazing crowd for the four short hours we opened.  Aside from fudge tastings and hot wassail warming our gullets, we started selling off our overstock for $5.00 or less per book.  Saturday we’re open from 10am – 6pm and the overstock stacks will be out front under our tent and inside the store in every nook we can find.  Plus all our regular inventory will still be 30% off including new, used and rare books along with chocolate, fudge, ugly dolls and stationary.  The only thing not marked down right now are DVD’s, special orders and employees (none of them seemed eager to match our inventory discount with a pay cut).
