As you can see, the interests of the Weller booksellers are a diverse and wide ranging bunch. We love to read. We love to talk about books. In fact, we STILL think books are among the best gifts to give and receive.

Sam Weller's Book Scrip Still Available

We have issued a limited quantity of Sam Weller’s Book Scrip. Notes were issued in goofy increments of $650, $1400, $3800 and $8300. The notes are cool and maybe someday will be collectible, so when a note is redeemed, an authorized staff member will cancel it and return it to the bibliophile who cashed in with this program. The notes will be sold for the respective prices of $500, $1000, $2500 and $5000. So the added value participants will reap climbs thus: 30%, 40%, 52% and 66%! Though the idea came as a rare book incentive, the SWB Scrip may also be used on second hand books. Purchases may not be bought using charge or used book credit accounts, and the full value of the notes must be redeemed within 30 days of purchase.

We still have a few pieces of scrip left to sell. Sam Weller's Book Scrip is a great gift for the holidays! So, if you're a bibliophile, know a bibliophile, or maybe had your eye on a book that was just out of reach, now is the time to take advantage of great savings!

Employees' Holiday Picks

The front of our store holds a growing display, our Employee's Holiday Picks table. Instead of throwing them all out at once, we in WellerWorld prefer a more gradual approach. Each day a new employee pick shows up on the table. It's rather like an advent calendar. Here's what has been selected so far:

• Lane Richins - Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America by Donald Stokes
• Debra Evans - Rabbit Problem by Emily Gravett and Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Book by Andrew Williamson
• Zach Sampinos - Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz
• Frank Pester - King James Bible Quartercentenerary Edition with essay by Gordon Campbell
• Bruce Christensen - Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine
• Jason Rabb - Listen to This by Alex Ross
• Tony Weller - Red Book by C. G. Jung, 75 Years of DC Comics by Paul Levitz, World of Ornament by A. Racinet, Frank Lloyd Wright: 1917 - 1942 by Bruce B Pfeiffer, Dressing a Galaxy by Trisha Biggar
