| Free Books Offered to Swampscott Troops |
| |
SWAMPSCOTT, MA - Got Books is offering to send a care package full of books to any Swampscott resident currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces overseas. Packages of 50 to 100 books will be sent to each local service member, which means there will be plenty of books to enjoy and to share with friends in their unit. The “Books for Troops” program was started earlier this year as a mission to send at least 25,000 books in 2008 to the troops overseas. Got Books founder and former Marine Bob Ticehurst began the program as a means of giving back to the local community and the military that he once served. This program provides local troops with engaging and high-quality books to read while serving in the military. Got Books will hand-pick the books, ensuring that every one will be appropriate and pleasing to its recipient. To submit the name and address of a Swampscott resident overseas, visit www.GotBooks.com/troops.Read More...

| Spotlight on Bookstores |
| |
BURLINGTON, MA - I had seen ads in the Boston Globe with the headline “Got Books?” and I thought “Got curious!” … the family and I headed up to Burlington this past weekend to find out what it was all about. Before we drove there, I did a little research on-line to find out more about this bookstore with the attention-getting “Got Books?” slogan. Books are 10% of the original price (that’s right, 90% discounted), with a minimum price of $1.00. Audiobooks are $3.50, and there are some new overstocks and remainders that are priced slightly higher, but are still bargains. The Used Book Superstore is in a strip mall on Cambridge Street, easy to get to from Rtes. 128 and 3A. They’re open Tuesday - Saturday 10-8, and Sunday 10-6; closed on Monday. When we stepped inside, I was impressed by the size (at 13,000 square feet they claim to be one of the largest used bookstores in Massachusetts), and the organization. Hardcover books are shelved separately from paperbacks, and fiction is shelved separately from non-fiction. Grouped alphabetically or by subject, it’s easy to find what you’re looking for.Read More...
