I'll be with the Scarborough Lions Club yard sale this morning to sell books, audio-books, CDs and a few other items, including a cool, Schwinn Miramar bike. Sale starts at 8, just beyond the intersection of Payne and Gorham roads.

BOOKSTOP is now officially closed. I've left some free cartons of recent vintage paperbacks out on the sidewalk for all of my fellow bookworms out there. Help yourself to them but please keep the sidewalk neat.

Goodbye, everyone. I will miss you more than you know. 19 years of incredible memories and friendships. I hope to see you all again someday. :)

BOOKSTOP will be closing at the end of June. I'm selling off lots of decor items now and I'll gradually cut prices on merchandise as we go along. Look for big cuts in prices in June! It will be a great time to bring in a box and stock up.

At some point, I'll be selling off shelving really cheap, and if I have any left over in the last week, I'll likely give it all away.

I'm still buying college textbooks! I'll continue to buy right through June. Give me a call or email for price quotes.

Come on in and buy some really cool decor items: old newspapers, posters, knick knacks!
