Every year we sell thousands of new books at our half-price sale on Thanksgiving weekend. Windham County Reads is the designated trade show charity for the New England Independent Booksellers Association, and many publishers at this show choose to donate their books to us rather than shipping them back to their warehouses.

As a result, we can offer the area public a wide variety of front and backlist fiction and non-fiction for both children and adults, just in time for holiday shopping. Local book stores make their selections before the sale opens to the public, and we refer shoppers with specific requests to them.

Sale dates for 2008 are Friday, November 28, Saturday, November 29, and Sunday, November 30. Friday and Saturday hours are 9 to 6 and Sunday hours are 12 to 5. Location? Somewhere in downtown Brattleboro, and as soon as the details are worked out, we'll post them on this site.

The book sale is a major fund raiser for Windham County Reads, accounting for about 15% of our annual budget. Don't miss this opportunity to choose from a wonderfully eclectic selection of books for all ages!
