Dear Book Lovers,

Happy New Year.

Looking for motivation to keep those New Year's resolutions? We have a great selection of exercise and diet books from which to choose.

Or maybe you just want a suggestion for a great winter read. Come in and talk to our staff. They love to share their favorites.

Need us to ship a book to you or a friend? Just call and we will send you any book you need.

So when the snow falls and the driveway is shoveled, remember to have a book by your side. It's a great way to beat the winter blues.

And just remember it's Ohio and Spring comes eventually.

Thank you for your support,

Jay and Mary Vernau, Owners
