Our bookstore will Close early today, Tuesday, April 29, 2008, at 4:00 PM, so that our entire Staff can be In-Service of our SOLD OUT Laura Bush and Jenna Bush Author Event.  You can still Special Order Author Autographed copies of Read All About It! for Out-of-Town Orders and for In-Store Pick-Up as soon as the afternoon of Wednesday, April 30, 2008, the day after the Author Event.  Also, we Ship Book Orders Worldwide.

Vivien Jennings gave her Reading Recommendations of four Books on KSHB NBC 41 Action News on Saturday, April 05, 2008, at about 8:30 AM.  During the program one lucky viewer won all four Books.

Rainy Day Books fills Author Autographed Special Orders from our Author Events Calendar and we also sell Author Autographed Books in Special Sections in our Bookstore and on our Website.  Author Autographed Books make great gifts for Birthdays and Special Occasions.  Place your Special Orders in Advance and Beat the Rush.

Robert Frost said, "There's absolutely no reason to be rushed along with the rush."  So, avoid the last moment rush for Admission Packages to our Author Events and Order yours Early.

Authors range from Debut Authors to International Bestsellers.  Roger adds New Author Events during the week as Vivien commits to Dates and Venues.  Watch and read our Author Events Calendar on our website for exciting Author Events and updates to be added as commitments and confirmations occur.  Be among the first people to know who Rainy Day Books will be hosting in the Heartland, such as:  Jack Todd, Ken Blanchard, Joel Goldman, John Perkins, David Sedaris, Sandra Gulland, Rebecca Stott and Deborah Crombie.  You will be well advised, informed and wise to order your Admission Packages early.

Here is some wise advice:  Go ahead and Buy your Books from Rainy Day Books so if and when the Authors of those Books come for Author Events you will automatically be offered 1 or 2 Admission Tickets per Event and you will already have your Books in hand.  Our Admission Packages include 1 or 2 Tickets and 1 New Book.  Rainy Day Books produces 300+ Author Events each year and we offer an Open Forum for Authors with all kinds of messages and stories.  We do it all for your benefit and enjoyment.  Our Author Events are an investment in the well-being of our community.  Our Author Events are where you can meet & greet the Authors of the Day, up-close-and-personal, day in & day out.
