Introducing the
Book Butterfly!
One of the best I've seen and worth your consideration.
The arms adjust easily for the size of your book, the angle of book can change easily, and there are units with lights and without.
We only have five of each so get in here if this sounds like a good gift idea.
With Light $32
Without $28

Yep, it's cute. Click here to see a video for it. Trevor is the one who came in and introduced us to this ingenious book stand. He was charming and a very good demonstrator. |

Plus there will be snacks and cider! Sunday at 11:30 am meet Michael DeWall and Peter Elman for a morning of song! In Home Field Advantage, historian Paul Brekke-Miesner examines why one relatively small American city- Oakland- produced not only an amazing number of professional athletes but individuals who changed the landscape of sports in America. Through interviews, historic photographs and a keen sense of place, the author weaves history and circumstance into a book any fan of sports or history would want to read. It's wonderful!! Meet Paul here on December 8 at 4pm.
