At Broadway Books in Portland the owners offer an annual “Book Talk,” at which they talk about the books that they believe will make the best holiday gifts for the year. They charge $5 for a ticket (gasp!), but refund that to anyone who buys a book the evening of the event. Apparently, they sell out! What a GREAT idea! This year’s Book Talk will be held next Thursday, November 18, at 7:00 pm, and reservations are required, so that they can be prepared for all who attend. Here is their description:
“Speaking of holiday shopping, don’t forget that next week is our ever-popular annual Holiday Book Talk, where we share a little nosh and beverages of an unmentionable sort and talk about books that will make great gifts for your friends and family — or even for you on these wet, dark, gloomy winter days.”

Actually, reservations are required, so we know how many people to plan for. It’s great fun, and reservations are easy to make. Just drop by the store before next Thursday, or call us at 503-284-1726 with a credit card. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Sally
