Saturday Is Independent Bookstore Day!

Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day this Saturday, April 27, at your BMC Bookshop.  We are proud to be a part of this one-day nationwide party that recognizes the resurgance of independent stores. And we are very much a part of the movement, having shucked off chainstore management and returned to independence here just four years ago.

“Consumers control the marketplace by deciding where to spend their money. If what a bookstore offers matters to you, then shop at a bookstore. If you feel that the experience of reading a book is valuable, then read the book. This is how we change the world: we grab hold of it. We change ourselves.”

― Ann Patchett, bestselling author and co-owner of Parnassus Books

Your BMC Bookshop will be open 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, and we have some fun exclusive IBD merchandise, including:

We also have some great giveways:

Get your choice of one giveaway just for coming into the store on Saturday.  The Macmillan Collector's Library "Poems to Keep in Your Pocket" booklet is especially nice -- and don't forget that all Macmillan Collector's Library volumes are still 20% off.  Get one additional giveaway free with any book purchase -- buy one book, get one more giveaway, buy two books, get two more giveaways, buy three ... you get the idea. This includes books from our new "Good Books Cheap!" cart, where you'll find some great used and new books for as little as $2.00:

Exclusive merchandise and giveaways are in limited quantities -- some very limited.  Come in early on Saturday!  Don't miss out!
