Thanks to our entire Redwood Community for supporting our local libraries; those who donate their books, movies, music and time, and those who patronize our sales.

Next sale is the November 22 Special Sale and Raffle. We will be celebrating 15 years of The Serendipity Book Store.

 

 

 

 

Fresh from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, Serendipity Book Store has a number of vintage cook books with an ethnic and/or regional flavor. See how your favorite dishes were prepared in the ‘Good Old Days’. On sale for just $1 each.

 

 

Have you seen the eclectic mix of blues, jazz, pop, and country records, now in Serendipity Book Store? Lots of artists you know, many artists you’ll be happy to stumble across, all singing and playing lost gems from an earlier age. All records just 25 cents each.

 

 

 

There are a bunch of Mad paper backs now in Serendipity Book Store. At just 50 cents each, you would have to be Mad not to grab all you can while they last.

 

This is a donation of illustrated Arabic language pamphlets. A notation on the back bills them as ‘Arabic Selection For New Readers’. The subject material appears to be benign, and taken from Sunday school lessons. This is another example of an item that we have no idea how to price, so you can find these three packets of pamphlets on the ‘price it yourself’ Rack in the Back of the Serendipity Bookstore.

Buddy, can you spare a buck?

What’s old can be new again. Even jet planes have rear view mirrors. Relax, try a little ‘Old Gold’.

‘Freshened’ every week with ‘new’ Friends.

At Serendipity Book Store. Thanks to a generous donation of sheet music, we now have several vintage pieces of sheet music with colorful covers of stars of stage and screen, great movies and stage shows, song writers and singers. Many pieces are ready to be framed, or slipped into a picture album.

When I’m ‘Out and About’, any old piece of paper will do to mark my place for my traveling book buddy. When I’m home, however, I usually have 3 or four books going at the same time, and for the home team I like to use my ‘A’ team of book marks. Thanks to the talents of Dolores Guffey I have a few stellar literary book marks, and thanks to some local artists I have some classy art book marks. Both are available at the Serendipity book store for just $2 each. You get a cool way to hold your place, and you help support your Humboldt library system, a terrific win-win situation.

Here are the results of the Aug 8-9 Buck-A-Bag Book Sale. Thanks to a generous Redwood Community, many books, movies and records were saved from recycle, and funds were generated to help support the Humboldt Libraries. Kudos to all concerned!

And a special thanks to the volunteers who helped make the book sale possible by setting up and breaking down the sales areas, and manned the sales desks.
