Introducing Freshly Picked!

As we order books for our store, we
often find titles that are so wonderful, we
want to shout their praises from the top of
the bookshelves. This happens especially
with children's picture books. We now
have a way to highlight these special titles
for our most discerning customers through
our new subscription Book Club.
Each title is hand picked by one of the booksellers at Third Street Books, and then reviewed to make sure each title is of top quality. We look for books that have the potential to be future classics; great illustrations, a touching story, an engaging subject. Most books
are works of fiction, but we think there might be a few non-fiction titles thrown in the mix too!

This first season we are offering three titles. The first one will be released in early April. Each title will be a newly published hardcover. Along with each book, you will receive a special add-on. We may include a little stuffed animal related to the book, or a nicely printed and framed image
from a book with especially great illustrations, or the book may be signed by the author.

Each release will be a surprise (we are still picking some great ones now!). You can trust us and our combined nineteen years of bookselling experience to pick some great fresh books.

Membership Options:

Option 1. You will receive one copy of the
book along with one special add-on. You
also have the option to have the book
shipped to you or as a gift for no additional
cost. The book will be wrapped with a card
stating who it is from.
Total cost $25.00

Option 2. Option 1 plus you are automatically
signed up for all three titles. The first will be
released in early April, the last in July. You can
expect to receive the second book in May.
Again, each book comes with a special
add-on and can be shipped free of charge.
Total cost $65.00. This is a 10% savings!

Payment must be made in advance. Items can be
returned or exchanged, but a 25% restocking fee
will be deducted from your return credit.

A special bedtime friend accompanies the book when you sign up for Freshly Picked.

The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber

Did you like Shadow of the Wind? (What! You haven’t read it? Get thee to the lit section and purchase it NOW.) I digress, if you enjoyed the multiple storylines and mysteries in Wind, you will equally like The Book of Air and Shadows. Albert Crosetti, low man on the totem pole at a rare book dealer’s in New York City discovers what he believes to be a clue leading to a yet unknown and unpublished play by Shakespeare. With the help of colleague (and potential girlfriend) Carolyn Rolly, Albert follows a remarkable trail in an attempt to discover the truth. A fine literary thriller that will engage you for several evenings at least, The Book of Air and Shadows makes a great vacation read.
