Free Preview Screening of the Lemony
Snicket Movie!
Just in time to ruin Christmas 2004, a major motion picture starring
Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, and Jude Law will expose millions to the
unbearable circumstances described in The Bad Beginning, The
Reptile Room and The Wide Window. Unless you have a taste
for dark rooms, sticky floors, stale popcorn, and unhappy endings,
steer clear of the movie. By all means, steer clear of Loganberry
Books, which will be passing out pretty free passes to the preview
screening on Saturday, December 11th, 10am, at Lowe's Richmond.
Passes
available December 9th and 10th.

Stump
the Bookseller Selection of the month
A212:
Alphabet
animal race
This is a book about a race that animals take
part in. There was generally one page per letter, like a zebra used
a zeppelin, probably a unicorn on a unicycle, etc. It was lavishly
illustrated and while it didn't have a lot of text, it wasn't for
pre-schoolers.
I don't think it could have been originally published after 1982 and
probably
10 years prior to that. All the animals sort of collide at the finish
line, and one of them (the rhino?) wins by a horn. Any help would
be much appreciated.
