Dear
Marli Murphy of The Kansas
City Star, thanks for your love and
appreciation.
The little bookstore that roars has made it possible for
me to hear authors from
Kurt Vonnegut to Martha Stewart and Susan
Vreeland."
Vivien Jennings gave her
Reading Recommendations of
five Books on KSHB NBC 41
Action News on Sunday, February 03,
2008, at about 8:30 AM. During the
program one lucky viewer won
all
five Books.

Robert Frost
said, "There's absolutely no reason
to be rushed along with the rush." So,
avoid the last moment rush for

International Bestsellers. Roger adds New
Author Events during the week as

and when the Authors of
those Books come for Author Events you will
automatically be offered 1 or 2

have your Books in hand. Our
Admission Packages include 1 or 2 Tickets and 1

Vivien L. Jennings is the Founder
& President of Rainy Day Books, Inc.
Since
Vivien opened the doors on November 04, 1975,
Rainy Day Books has provided the Greater Kansas
City community with a gathering place, a wellspring
for ideas and creative thought, and an ongoing voice
for
literacy and awareness. Rainy Day Books is
the major independent bookseller in Kansas City,
recognized locally and nationally profiled by The
Kansas City Star and Publishers Weekly
for its community Author
Events, which average 300 plus per year.
Rainy Day Books recommends selections to over 140
book clubs in the area. Vivien and her
romantic partner Roger Doeren support many
local charitable and
civic organizations in raising both funds and
awareness through many of the community Author
Events. Their philosophy is: "Bigger
Isn't Better. Better Is Better. We are
interested not so much in what we have done, but
more in what we still want to do. It is thrilling
to watch people leave our
Events with the knowledge that authors and their
books can expand their awareness, improve their
health, make them laugh, touch their hearts, and
encourage them to achieve a better life in a better
world. This is truly the spirit of the 'Legacy of
Literacy' that we hope to contribute to the
community."
