Cole Louison! We love Cole, and Cole loves us; he even put a dedication to the bookstore in U.S. Army Zombie Training Manual. How cool!

Burlingham Books carries all of his books and we hope to carry many more!
REQUEST FOR PAGES OF YOUR POETRY FOR ANNUAL PUBLIC ART EVENT! April is National Poetry Month. Pages of poetry dance in the breeze… on the downtown windows of Main Street businesses… poetry written by poets who are ordinary people from across the U.S. and greater world. Even skeptics of ‘traditional poetry’ will discover something here that they find funny, if not meaningful.

Speaking of i.s.e., there will be a congruous open house between us and them - walk from our store up the back stairs to meet the people of In Site Enterprises and their Main & More partners: Cornucopia Frame Shop, Rocket Commercial Real Estate, and Sweet Sarah's!

Our espresso machine (blue in more than one sense of the word) has died. The new one comes Thursday. Until then, we're making do. Plenty of regular coffee, fruit smoothies, and the like. But it's still a sad day.
In addition to all the other fine products at Burlingham Books, on Farmers' Market Saturdays, there is face-painting out front.
