11/29/2004: "Holiday Sales"

When I was a child, it always used to bug me that as soon as Halloween was over, the stores started putting up Christmas decorations. It was almost like all the stores were horses in a starting gate, panting and waiting to take off! Of course, now that I'm a merchant, I understand the logic a little better: stores think in terms of buying-time, specifically in allotments of weeks. Following Halloween, there are only seven weeks for customers to buy things. Not much time when you think about it.

So, is Book Oasis having a sale? You bet we are! On Wednesday, December 15th, from 6:00 PM until 12:00 AM all stock will be half off! That's absolutely everything, even the books in the rare cabinets. If you've had your eye on something, now's the time to buy.

The sale serves another purpose: I'm expecting a new load of stock in the next few weeks, and I need to make room.

Hope to see you there!

Book news: We've recieved a number of copies of Dr. Phil's books, including _Self Matters_ and _Life Strategies_. There are new books on Feng Shui design, an almost complete set of The Boxcar Children, man books on birds and birdwatching, as well as many new additions to the thriller section. As I've mentioned before, the stock changes constantly, so if you've not been to see us in a while, don't think you're going to see the same books as before. You won't! We're working extra hard to add new books to the shop. We hope to see you soon.
