Day 1: Books, books, books
Let’s go back to where it all started.
When we opened our doors in 1996, we sold books. Actually, we didn’t just sell books. We read them. We loved them. We discussed them. We shared them.
We still do.
Chapters Bookshop updates its Indie Bestsellers Lists weekly and offers 10 percent discounts on those top books. Lists are posted online and in the store.
Book signings are held frequently here at the store. We have hosted notable authors including New York Times Bestselling authors Beth Macy, Mary Kay Andrews and Sharyn McCrumb, among dozens of well-known regional fiction and non-fiction writers. We receive shipments of books almost daily and feature a stellar used book section. (You can read more about our Used Book Trade Account policy here.) We can also search for and special order those hard-to-find titles.
Books (and the education, inspiration and imagination they represent) are the foundation of Chapters Bookshop & The Wine Cellar at Chapters.
That’s why, today, we’re giving away a full color edition of Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.
In his classic and beloved novel, E. B. White tells the memorable story of Wilbur, a little pig who becomes famous with the help of his clever friend Charlotte and their chatty animal neighbors. As the runt of the litter, Wilbur struggles to survive from the very beginning. Fern begs her father, Mr. Arable, to raise Wilbur and nurse him to health. Fern succeeds and Wilbur moves to Zuckerman Farm, where he learns the true meaning of friendship from the wise gray spider Charlotte. When it becomes apparent that Wilbur is being well fed for a reason, Charlotte and Wilbur are determined to foil Mr. Zuckerman’s plans. With the help of Charlotte and her “terrific” webs, Templeton the rat, and other barnyard friends, Wilbur becomes the prize-winning pig of the County Fair and the most famous pig ever. Lessons of friendship, loyalty, and truth bind this story together and show readers that friends come in all shapes and sizes.
In celebration of our twenty years in business, we’ll be featuring twenty days of giveaways. Each day we’ll feature a product that is representative of who we are and what we offer.
