GRIFFIN BAY BOOKSTORE ANNUAL SALE

Anniversary Open House
Saturday, November 13, 10:00am—6:00pm
20% off all books in the store

Griffin Bay Bookstore will hold its annual Open House Saturday, November 13, 10:00am—6:00pm, to celebrate 31 years of bookselling in Friday Harbor with a storewide sale of 20% off on all books. Bookstore owner Laura Norris and her team are offering this special sale as a way of thanking our island community for loyal support and on-going patronage.  Shoppers will find a wide range of books to get them started on their holiday shopping.

Griffin Bay Bookstore follows in the great tradition of independent bookstores the world over with a knowledgeable staff to help customers find what they are looking for, to help point them to books that match their reading tastes. The Griffin Bay staff takes pride in providing top notch customer service. Their aim is to provide a gamut of ways for customers to find what they are looking for.

For those who want a hands-on experience in the store, the staff is glad to find a book for you.  If it’s not in stock, they’ll order it, do a search to find out how quickly your order will be in the bookstore for pick-up. You can also call the bookstore and ask for staff support and place an order over the phone. And for those who want to avoid a trip to town or a phone call, there’s a do-it-yourself method—you can shop on-line on the Griffin Bay Bookstore website, www.griffinbaybook.com.  If you order online and choose to pick up your books in the store, you will pay no shipping charges, and you can have your Frequent Buyer Card stamped as usual. Griffin Bay’s customer appreciation program amounts to a 10% discount for all who participate. Customers are credited for all purchases in the store, not just for books. Café patrons can also pick up a coffee card and receive 2 free drinks when their card is filled.

Griffin Bay Bookstore is now stocking great CDs from NPR’s program: “Discover Songs.” New titles will be on hand every six weeks. And for those who are looking ahead for stocking stuffers, you’ll find book lights, bookplates, audio books, DVDs, chocolate and other gift items.

Also on hand are larger gift items such as puzzles, games, children’s activities galore, crossword puzzles and Sudoku, boxed and single holiday cards, calendars, day planners, journals, and all manner of Moleskine and Paperblanks journals and planners. New this year are quirky and useful gifts for the home office.

I'll be singing from 11am-2pm at the Open House...my new CD "Finding My Way to You" makes a great stocking stuffer & CD player stuffer.

Local artists and writers are well represented, among them photographer Jane Buck.  Her beautiful and striking images now adorn a large mug with Griffin Bay Bookstore’s name running along the side. In addition, she is offering bookmarks, and packaged Christmas cards, offered exclusively at Griffin Bay. You’ll also find artwork from Spaulding Studios, long-time favorites at the store.

All that’s new in fiction and non-fiction, bestsellers and new releases, are on the shelves, and so are cookbooks, arts and crafts, gardening books, mysteries and suspense, everything you need to get through long winter nights or stormy afternoons. Don’t miss the Open House and Anniversary Sale on Saturday, November 13, 10:00am—6:00 pm!
