Fathers Day 2011

What a busy time in the shop leading up to Fathers Day.

Lots of Dads would have woken up early on Fathers Day being presented with a gift especially chosen by their kids.   Many would have received a book from the selection with a focus on "bloke" interests.   Have a look at the special Windows Pages as well.

Time flies, and it's now Spring

A couple of weeks have sped by between "posts".   The cooler weather has brought out many book lovers who have stocked up on regular specials and new authors that they've discovered.   The bookshop has been very busy, and even moreso with Father's Day this coming weekend.   In between times, here's a couple of photos of the selection of books presently available.

It's not only "books"

If you thought that Rainy Day Books ONLY sold books, then expand your thoughts because this little bookshop is always well worth a visit.

You'll be pleasantly surprised at what is in this wonderful bookshop.

Firstly let's start with some "old and preloved" knitting books.   (Yes, knitting is popular at all times, and many of the older pattern books are quickly sold and even become part of "personal collections").  The following selection are Patons Knitting Books from around the late 1940s and 1950s.
