Attention PLANET BOOKS family and friends!

Tomorrow, Friday, July 17, we will be closing early. If you know how the old style clock works, the big hand is on the 12, and the little one is on the 6. That means 6 O'clock. It also means that we will be closed and you will be sadly turned away until Saturday morning when we will be welcoming you again with open arms...or something like that.

Remember, we are closing at 6 pm.

PLANET BOOKS says howdy to PKD!

We've recently acquired a nice group of Philip K. Dick paperback books from the U.K., and other far away places that have some unusual and seldom seen covers (around here anyway) so come on by and check them out while we still have them.

Read (and collect) more books!

We're thinking of a mural in the front of PLANET BOOKS instead of a sign, what are your thoughts?

This beautiful mural is painted on a magical little bookstore called Rainbow Booksellers, right in the heart of Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

If Andy Warhol were alive today, would he go to PLANET BOOKS?

You bet he would! Especially since we just got a nice collection of his books in. What he wouldn't do is come tomorrow on the 4th, as we will be closed to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our country.

Happy Independence Day!
Read lots of books and see you on Sunday.

A nice group of books and catalogs featuring Pablo Picasso's drawings, paintings, and sculpture.

At PLANET BOOKS, we specialize in art, so there's always a great selection.
