Salutations!
Date night at Loganberry! Join us on Valentine's Night for wine and truffles, a quiet evening with fine books, and the virtuoso guitarwork of Brian Henke. What could be more relaxed and romantic? Treats courtesy of our fine neighbors at the Larchmere Tavern.
Recent Expansions
We’ve been rearranging and expanding some sections here at Loganberry. Here are some of our exciting new changes.
· Expanded shelving for sports and games, including yoga, pilates, tons of Chess books, crossword puzzles, Sudoku and KenKen
· Increased space for poetry, including an excellent collection of Irish poetry
· An improved and expanded section for American Culture & Politics (everything fromWilliam Buckley Jr. to Sarah Vowell), plus more room for state-by-state
· Beautiful new cards from Brian Andreas, Patience Brewster, Pondering Pool and old favorites Pomegranate, Palm Press, Great Arrow and Notes & Queries
· More cookbooks, more cookbooks, and yet more cookbooks
· An expanded section for philosophy and religion (still underway as I write this)
· A display section for New York Times Bestsellers, numbered 1 through 10, and offered at 20% off. Yeah, we know this isn’t an original idea, but we thought you might have lost some your usual haunts for these things
Stump the Bookseller Selection of the month
L287: Lunar park?
an illustrated children's book (possibly australian) about a boy and girl and possibly parents (i dont think any of them had any hair) who have an automated house. They are woken up by their beds, washed by a bathroom machine, food prepared by robots etc. They then go to the moon and go on various rides, antigravity room, ride on the rings. they would eat moon treats like big coloured candyfloss. Then they came home and their bbq robot had made them a big feast. Book may have been early 80s and may be called something along the lines of "lunar park".
