Searching Toy Fair for great new deals

Just back from Toy Fair in NYC, looking for overstocks and offerings on jigsaw puzzles, books, and Christmas, believe it or not!
Hope Hannah Montana and Dora stay popular, everything seems to be a licensed toy these days. If they don't, our stores will be flooded with their smling faces.
Got to look through a viewfinder and remember the good old days when that was an amazing toy(they are still the best 3D on the planet in my book).
Saw a lifesize Indiana Jones made entirely out of Legos - no snakes though.

Working on some cool deals on cookbooks, mechanical Christmas figures and Lord of the Rings - anyone still interested in Lord of the Rings?
Let me know what you would like to find in our Book Department next time you stop in!

Looking forward to seeing this new merchandise, always a great deal and selection! Besides starting my Christmas shopping early. Keep up the wonderful deals.

I would like to see more Christian book titles and biographies. For so many years, I have enjoyed shopping Building 19 and especially the book section. At my Blog (La Salette Journey), I have a link to the Building 19 website.

Our family has been shopping at Bulding 19 for nearly thirty years now. And we never leave unhappy. Building 19 is more than just "good stuff cheap." It's people who actually care about customer service and, well, people.

I'll be sure to check out your Blog regularly.

God bless,

Thanks for your input Paul. I need help on what to select to develop a
Christian book area - are there a publishers that are better?

I would be pleased to offer these titles

Jean, I would recommend CBD - Christian Book Distributors for one. They are located in Massachusetts, have a website, and are well-known for offering fantastic deals on their books. Also, Edward Hamilton. They also offer discount books and are located in Connecticut.

Hope this helps. Love what you all have done with Building 19 at Spags and the book section at Building 19 in Manchester, New Hampshire. I would have been saddened to see that store close.

God bless,
Paul.

Hi. Love your blog. I saw the link at Paul's blog La Salette Journey. I will tell all my friends about this site....Our Lady of La Salette appeared to Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud on September 19th. There's that number 19 again....haha.

Peace of Christ to you all.....love shopping your stores!

Would love to see more educational books (stories, activity books, puzzles) for elementary school kids that aren't always linked to product promotions (Dora, etc.).
