Greetings from the unconventional storehouse of unusual gifts for the discerning (or persnickety, or downright stubborn) person who has it all. A sampling of gifts available for those who already have everything: a gift card recognized at independent booksellers across the nation, tickets to arts events, or the wine tasting coming in March. We also have myriad greeting cards for any holiday or other notable event. And it is never too early to start planning for next year with one of our calendars for any occasion!

This Friday, our very own Ariella Schreck, mixed media artist, has works in a show opening in the Above the Rim Gallery. The featured artists will be present from 5-8 PM.

Saturday, December 9th, join us for a reading and signing with author Michael Cannela. The author of "Arcalian Apocalypse," and his newest work, "Children of Prophesy," will be here from 1-3 PM. Cannela's works are set in a fantasy universe where nostalgia occludes an underlying bleakness, and his characters seek balance therein.

Sunday the 10th, M.J. Engh will be here from 12:00-2:00 PM. Engh is a science fiction author and an "independent scholar of Roman history." She will read and sign "In the Name of Heaven: 3,000 years of religious persecution," which, according to her website, is "the first English-language general history of religious persecution worldwide, from ancient Egypt through 1900."

Happy reading!
