Gift Ideas

It's such a pleasure to be slinging books madly this week, solving gift conundrums, passing our favorites of 2014 on to hungry readers, and filling stockings with goofy stuff.  To tempt you in one more time this year we present the following, with details further down:
  • Longer Hours;
  • our Apple-a-Month fiction subscription;
  • SIGNED books you won't find elsewhere;
  • links to lists of best books of the year;
  • books for cooks and kids; 
  • stocking stuffer ideas, most under $20; and 
  • our site always offers free shipping for orders over $40 (except e-readers).

 

We hope to see you in the store soon--it's festive in here, and we'd like to personally thank you for supporting Green Apple Books.  If you don't make it in you can shop our website 24/7 (gift cards!).  We even offer curbside delivery if you're in a hurry (and who isn't)? Just order online or by phone and call when you're close.   

 

And THANK YOU for reading. 

 

Happy holidays from all 35 Green Applers at both stores.

APPLE-a-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION

Apple a Month 

We often hear that customers come to Green Apple to find the book they're looking for but end up staying for hours to peruse the books we recommend. But if you live far away, have a schedule that inhibits your ability to read hundreds of handwritten index cards before selecting your next book, or are looking for a perfect perennial gift for the bibliophile in your life: The Apple-a-Month Club is here for you.  Choose from three, six, or twelve months, and we'll do the rest.

   

Details here.  Or look here to see past books in the subscription series. 

SIGNED books you won't find elsewhere

  



We have signed copies of some great books, including Neil Gaiman, Denis Johnson, Eimear McBride, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Ben Lerner, John Darnielle, and more.  Here's a list of really unique gifts.

We may run out, so call first if you've got your heart set on something.

BEST BOOKS of 2014
Here are some links if you'd rather shop on our website, or if you want to make a list to prevent OBS (Overwhelmed by Books Syndrome).  You can order online to pick them up in either store (or we'll ship them to you)

And we stand ready to recommend a great book for anyone.  Just drop in and ask!  

Stocking Stuffers
If you have anyone on your list who doesn't like books (gasp!), we can still help out.  We have LPs, DVDs, magazines, journals, shirts and bags, games, puzzles, and all kinds of quirky gifts.  Here's a sampling of some of our favorites rights now:

Thanks for reading!
