Our presentation for December 3rd is an encore appearance by Tim Smith, Operations Manager of Schuler Books.
Schuler Books made its initial appearance in 1982 on 28th Street, just above Good Friends Auto. Schuler Books is the largest independent bookstore in Michigan featuring a wide selection of new and used books, gifts, toys, stationery, a full service Café and in-store events. These in-store events include book signings at all four locations: Grand Rapids, Meridian Mall in Okemos, Ann Arbor and West Bloomfield.
As he did last year, Tim will bring about 10 books and give us some pointers about them that he thinks would be great for giving – or reading by you. In addition, he will bring Schuler’s Holiday Gift Guide and some other information to allow access to a wider selection of books.
Keep in mind that books come without batteries. Bring your checkbook or credit card. Tim will also have a $30 gift certificate that will be given to a lucky individual through a special drawing.
