It's Not Too Late!

With all due respect to the internet bookselling behemoths, if you haven't ordered your book from them by now you're just not going to get it by the 25th. We, on the other hand, scrappy little bricks-and-mortar store that we are, have books piled high. They're ready for immediate delivery, right into your hands--no shipping, no waiting.

Come in today and let us help you find the perfect gift.

Holiday Hours:

  • Thursday, Dec. 20: 10am to 10pm
  • Friday, Dec. 21: 10am to 11pm
  • Saturday, Dec. 22: 10am to 11pm
  • Sunday, Dec. 23: 10am to 10pm
  • Monday, Dec. 24: 10am to 5pm

Here are a few ideas that are sure to please even the most difficult person on your holiday list.

Dads are notoriously hard to buy for, so here are two suggestions: The Illustrated "A Brief History of Time" and Ken Burn's most recent magnum opus The War. They're both fascinating, full of compelling text and images.

The Original Picture Puzzle This is another great activity book to engage any family member around the tree. Life originated the side-by-side, almost-the-same photograph game, and they do it right. Can you spot the difference? You'll have fun trying.


Transit Maps of the World contains route maps for every urban rail system in the world-from Buenos Aires to Bucharest. Armchair travelers will pour over this for days and days.




The Book of Bunny Suicides You'll be passing this one around, so everyone can choose their favorite cartoon featuring "little fluffy bunnies who just don't want to live any more." It's funny, it's morbid, it's great for teens and twenty-somethings alike.

There's no better book to introduce a teenager to the joys of reading than A Confederacy of Dunces. The story of grumpy New Orleans misfit Ignatius Reilly is as charming and funny now as when it was first written.




Vegan niece? Vikings fan brother-in-law? Veterinarian aunt? We can point you towards titles for anyone on your list. Try and stump us. We love a challenge.
We have lovely gift cards.

Purchase one in any amount, so the recipient can do the looking for you. We have some inserts to include in the envelope, so you can suggest a great title. Or leave it open for folks to browse the store at their leisure.

We've got a full line of wall calendars and day planners for you. From practical little Moleskines--notebooks of choice for Van Gogh, Picasso, and Hemingway--to full-sized, full-color wall calendars, we have our best selection ever right now--all at 10 to 35% off the publisher's price.

Best wishes from all of us at Magers and Quinn!
