All our academic texts for next year are coming in, and with those, many other books just to stock up. We have been so busy processing all this incoming stock that I didn’t realise it’s almost sale time. How did it get to November? Our annual sale will be held during the last week on November and the first week of December as usual. As well as being able to get some good books at better prices, this is a time when old friends meet as they browse the sale books.

For those out-of-towners, who can’t come in and browse. I will be marking all sale books with BBX in the title (future tense; not done yet.). This way, you can search on goodneighbours.wpengine.com using BBX to find the sale books.
