HOT BOOKS

  • The Zookeeper's Wife     by Diane Ackerman

    This is an extraordinary true story of Warsaw residents Jan and Antonina Zabinsky, Polish Christian zookeepers, who hid Jews from the German occupiers in World War II. At great risk to themselves, they hid their guests among the animals in the zoo. During those war years, they saved the lives of 300 people.

  • Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig We all loved reading Margaret Mitchell’s classic. Gone With the Wind. Now we have a chance to hear Rhett Butler’s side of the story.
  • The Art Thief by Noah Charney

    If you liked The DaVinci Code, you’re going to enjoy this book. Masterpieces are being stolen from museums in Rome, Paris, and London and the finest detectives have been called to investigate the crimes.

DEAR BOOKLOVERS

Thursday, May 1

We hope you’re planning to participate in THE BIG READ CELEBRATION on Friday, May 2 at 6 pm at the Masonic Temple, 525 W. Riverview Avenue in Dayton, where you will meet FIROOZEH DUMAS, author of this year’s Big Read selection, Funny in Farsi. You’ll also enjoy good food, tasty beverages, Iranian music, and demonstrations of Iranian dance. There are more details in the Calendar of Events. Books & Co is pleased to be a sponsor of this event.

FIZOOZEH DUMAS will be at books&co at The Greene on Saturday afternoon, May 3, from 2-3 pm to talk about Funny in Farsi and introduce her new book, Laughing Without an Accent. You can’t help but laugh as you read about this Iranian family adjusting to life in the United States.

You’ll notice that each edition of this monthly newsletter contains four coupons that can be used by our Discount Club members. We encourage you to join the club so you can make use of that opportunity. Everyone likes to save money, and this is a good way to do it. Our Discount Club entitles members to a 10% discount on all their books&co purchases (except gift cards) for a whole year. They also get a 40% discount on our bestsellers and special offers throughout the year. It’s a bargain for $15 a year, and you can join at any register. And, if you’d like to give us your e-mail address when you sign up for the Club, we’ll send you valuable coupons throughout the year and notification of Sale events.

We also have another helpful benefit for Discount Club members. You can get 8 free issues of Time, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly or People Magazine when you use your Discount Club card and your credit card for a trial subscription to one or two of those magazines. Before you receive the 8th issue, you’ll receive a confirmation letter reminding you that your trail subscription is ready to expire, and you’ll have an opportunity to cancel, if you choose, before your credit card is charged. It’s a handy way to get familiar with a magazine before you actually subscribe to it.


Remind your children that our Summer Reading Program will begin on June 7 and run until August 9. There will be details about it in the June newsletter.

As always, thank you for being our customers. We’re here for you.

Warm regards,

Sharon Kelly Roth
Director, Public Relations
