More Books New to the Store

And more books, and more books, and lots more books and I just bought more.
I think the word has gone out that the "Fool" at Curt's Books is buying all sorts of books. I have had more offers of books in the past 3 weeks then in the rest of the year all together. I have bought a lot and sent a lot back out the door. These are in all different categories. There has been lots of fiction and lots of non-fiction also.
Buying them is the easy part. I can do that quickly. The hard work then comes to price them and get them on the shelves or on display. That takes a lot more time. But it does get done eventually.

Gotta have inventory to keep the customers happy!

Beauty & Wonder, The Wild Gardens of California by Ron Mackie

The author grew up in the Sierra Madre area of So. Calif. in the 1920's & 30's and got to really know natural California. This delightful and lyrical little book recounts his life in various zones of California.

Finished--at last

The shelf shift and weeding of the Adventure/Suspense books is finally done! Whew.
I weeded out all the old books no one was buying anymore, gave the section some new space, rearranged the duplicates to have them in a more logical manner, made the shelves much neater, and generally improved the entire thing.
Now, on to all the other big projects I have planned.
