Mr. Paperback

It's time!  Our annual Cabin Fever Sale will take place Saturday February 19th & Sunday February 20th.  All books, cards and gifts will be 20% off!  Mark your calendars, and come in to stock up for the second half of winter!

Half the state is shutdown with the threat of snow but Mr. Paperback is open!  Don't risk life or limb getting here...although  we do have sled dog parking.  If you were shivering enough we might even have hot cocoa - or we could point you to the cooking section for the recipe at least.  Might be a good time to stock up on books - you never know, Kevin Manix might be right one of these days.  Happy winter reading!

Mr. Paperback will be closed Thursday, November 25th to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Happy Turkey Day!

Pete Morris is back in action!  Find out what he's up to in Alibi Blonde.

"An alibi can come in handy...unless your high-priced lawyer would rather see her in bed than on the witness stand.  So now young Matt Driscoll is facing a life behind bars unless Pete Morris can make sense of a case that has him up to his eyeballs in crooked ex-cops, Brazillian jujitzu instructors and one gorgeous, alibi blonde."

Set in the foothills of Western Maine and published right here in Farmington, Alibi Blonde is sure to please!

Also, catch up on all Pete's adventures in Hanstein's first five books, Cold Snap, Mistrial,  Not Proven, State's Witness and Sucker's Bet.

Feel the burn!  Catch the buzz!  Get a dragon tattoo?

If you haven't read Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy yet now is the time!  All three books are 20% off - hardcover, paperback, and even audio book purchase are all discounted.

We know you've heard of the books.  Now is the time to see for yourself what the international bestselling phenomenon is about!

While you're here enter to win a Millennium Trilogy prize pack!

Hurry in, offer ends Friday October 15th, 2010.

Dad really doesn't need another tie.  But he could always use another book!  How about the new baseball inspired book by Stephen King, Blockade Billy, or the third installment of the Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, or the latest Randall Probert game warden novel, A Grafton Tale.  New for the start of summer is a collection of Jeff Dobbs DVDs including Acadia Always, High on Maine, and Maine: America's Coast.  We also have some unique gifts especially for dad like Pop Pops bottle openers.  And for the man who needs some scent inspiration, Man Cave Candles - manly scented candle in pint glasses made in Benton, Maine by Castine Candle Company.  Don't forget dad this year!

In celebration of Memorial Day, Mr. Paperback will be closing @ 5pm on Monday, May 31st.  Have a safe and happy holiday!

It's National Children's Book Week!  Sure you know Miss Rumphius, Mike Mulligan, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Strega Nona, but have you met the Duchess of Whimsy, Louise the Big Cheese, Grandpappy Snippy Snappers, or Llama Llama?  Celebrate the classic, and soon to be classic, book characters with the characters in your life.  Children's books make great graduation gifts as well!

Mother's Day is this Sunday.  Don't be caught unprepared.  Willow Trees, sun catchers, and recipe holders oh my!  Can't decide which is the perfect gift for mom?  Let her decide with a gift certificate in any amount.  Don't forget a card.  And, if you ask nicely, we'll even gift wrap your purchase.  We're open 9 to 5 as usual Sunday so there's no excuse not to show mom just how great she is!

Sure we got 4 inches of snow Saturday...but that doesn't mean you can't plan the great backyard garden!  How about new flowers to brighten the lawn, a new garden structure to hang plants from (and impress your neighbors with!), or a veggie garden that can be preserved through next winter?  We have garden books to cover all these topics, and more!
