                    Happy New Year and Cheers to 2015

                          

Thanks for supporting the Shuswap Pipes'n Drums-ticket sales went well for the Robbie Burns Dinner for Jan 24th/2015.

 

New Books:   We had a very successful book signing  on Saturday, December 6th, with Randy Nelson of Kamloops BC of his book: "Poachers, Polluters & Politics-A Fishery Officer's Career".  Randy was a Fishery Officer in BC and All Proceeds from the Sale of his Book are donated to the 'Fallen Fish & Wildlife Officers in North America.' Randy has signed and left some of his books in the store and will be added to our website to buy or come in and check out.

Julie White's new children's book is here 'The Lost Diary'--wonderful horse themed story for ages 8+ and her fifth book. Julie's books always sell well and wonderful that she is from Armstrong, BC

    "Laying the Children's Ghosts to Rest-Canada's Home Children in the West" by Sean Arthur Joyce. Sean was in and signed the 5 copies that we currently have in the store. This is a captivating blend of memoir and history.

 

                          "Big Trees Saved and Other Feats-The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society" by Deanna Kawatski-local author of 6 books.

 

                          "Whitewater Cooks with Passion"-Shelley Adams 4th book and as always, selling very well. Wonderful recipes and from Nelson, BC

                                                                                                                                   
We have 'Book themed' jewelery-keep on a key chain, or put on a necklace, earrings, and so on for an unique gift for book lovers. See under Local Artist section.
