Many indie bookstores are sending holiday season messages to their patrons via chalkboards this year, including:
The Village Bookstore, Pleasantville, N.Y.: "My favorite winter sport is reading."
Bards Alley, Vienna, Va.: "Season's readings from us to you."
Main Street Books, Mansfield, Ohio: "Is procrastination really a problem if you do get everything done on time? (You still have a few days.)"
Second Star to the Right Books, Denver, Colo.: "Books: THE PERFECT GIFT--We Promise!*.... *We are not responsible for any resulting urges to read at dinner, in the car, in the bath, and instead of sleeping when you’re supposed to."
Roundabout Books, Bend, Ore.: " 'Christmas is a togethery sort of holiday,' said Pooh. 'That's my favorite kind,' said Piglet"
Books A Plenty, Tauranga, New Zealand: "Ho... Ho... Hope it's a book!"
