HAPPY 30 YEARS!!!

We're having an anniversary party! And you, our wonderful and loyal customers, are all invited.

Join us:

Saturday, August 31, 2013

4:00 to 8:00 pm

at the Bookery, Main Street, Placerville

Can you believe that it has been 30 years since Celia and Nancy bought the Bookery and began its journey toward what it has become today? A bustling venture in buying, cleaning, pricing, shelving, and selling used books....and so much more than that. We see it as a symbol of community, hard work, and dedication. A place where people can relax, where the pressures of our ever changing world can be put on hold, and you can enjoy the presence of good people and the good old-fashioned joy of a book in your hands. 

Here are a few pictures and articles from over the years taken from our scrapbook to commemorate the occasion:

And speaking of new beginnings, as of September 1, Darin will begin working full-time at the Bookery! This is the first step toward Darin and Heather eventually helping run the Bookery to keep its legacy alive and well in Placerville as we grow and expand into the 21st century. You'll be seeing more and more of them around here so be sure to say hello :)

And we hope to see you all at the celebration!

Happy 4th of July from the Bookery!

There are so many great ways to take pride in and celebrate our amazing nation.

And what better way to celebrate tradition, family, and our grand country than a fun and festive backyard bbq?! If you can brave this scorching heat, a bbq is the perfect way to get together for some good old-fashioned summer fun.

Our barbecue and grilling cookbooks are overflowing from the shelf! Come check them out for some tantalizing tips.

Outdoor eating is the perfect way to enjoy summer's refreshing evenings......

Don't forget to pick up some books to teach and inspire the kids about the meaning of this holiday and the growth of this great nation we enjoy.

Wishing you all a fun, festive, safe and enjoyable Fourth of July!

Happy Dad's Day!

Don't forget your fathers this Sunday! Come in and check out our shelves; there is sure to be something to interest dad.

 Perhaps he is into military history?

Or science, astronomy, nature, archaeology? We have overflowing shelves on all the fascinating topics of our natural world.

Highly likely that dad is a sports fan...we've got you covered from basketball to boxing to bicycling.

Or maybe he'd prefer some good old-fashioned action packed fiction. 

Westerns are many dads' favorites.

If he is good with automotive mechanics, we have a huge selection of specified manuals for all types of engines and cars.

Is dad a fisherman? We have beautiful books on fishing techniques and stories.

If none of that suits your father, perhaps some humor will float his boat?

Every father is different, and each one deserves a special hand picked book as a gift this Father's Day.

We hope to see you  browsing our shelves.
