Norwood Book Department by Wendy

The Norwood Book Department is crafted by a woman named Wendy, stop in and say hi to this hardworking, knowledgeable person. She has thoughtfully created an area in this store that welcomes a browser.
Look at the endcaps she has built to entice you, the selection of graphic novels or the browsing room filled with one of a kind books only a bookworm would love and the kids section, WOW!
Thanks, Wendy, you make it fun!
Please, stop by and say hello. Tell her I sent you in! Which B19 is your favorite book department?

Weymouth Wonderful Book Selection

If you have any need for a book this summer, it really would make sense to plan a trip to one of the B19 stores to peruse the shelves before heading off to a big bookstore or to an internet seller.
There truly is a great selection of all kinds of books at great prices.
Today I put out horror, fantasy, New England titles and authors, cookbooks, history, business books, books on politics, biographies, books on soccer, baseball and golf, travel and fiction.
Why not give us a try, save a lot of money and then get the newest best seller without feeling the least bit guilty at spending all that money.
PS great books for Dad here too!

New Bedford Store Young Adult Department

Wow! Today in New Bedford we stocked an outstanding selection of books for teens -
John Green, Sarah Dessen, Alex Horowitz, award winners, whew! Watch out, Louise, they will be flying off the shelves.
What does your teen read? We have the coolest stuff like Baby Mouse for the younger readers, too.
Come in, say hi to Louise and let her know what your summer reading list looks like!

How do you choose a book?

Today I spent time in the Norwood store watching people browse books in the "book reading room" Lori and her team have set up. One woman just plowed through the boxes with kids books in them, tossing books to one side or another. A young man carefully went box by box, scanning titles. He had found a treasure. How do you shop for a book?
I go by the cover. It's usually a trade paper edition, I like the feel of that kind of book and definitely prefer the content whether it's fiction or non-fiction.
