GREAT BOOK
A book we love to recommend is ASTRID AND VERONIKA by Linda Olsson. It's a beautifully written story of the friendship that forms when a young woman rents a house in Sweden and is befriended by her elderly neighbor and their life stories unfold.
ELDRIDGE TIDE CHARTS
FYI, according to our customers, West Marine does not have Eldridge Tide Charts. If you need one, come see us. Your GPS is great, but it doesn't tell you what the currents are doing when you're out on the ocean.

May Bookstall Newsletter
Dear Readers,
We ladies at the Bookstall are looking forward to the return of our summer families. This spring has been so absolutely beautiful here that we have already put up our screen door, making us feel that summer is around the corner even though this glorious weather may not last.
Celebrating springtime inside the shop are the beautiful, dried flower collages made by Laura von Zweck. We have both originals and giclee prints, plus her greeting cards --delicate and delightful.
We've returned to our regular store hours -- 10:00 to 5:00, Monday thru Saturday.
May 11th, Mothers Day- we have wonderful gifts, lap desks, garden stakes, new Vera Bradley accessories, candles, hand crafted by Nancy Alexander purses, paperweights and of course fabulous Mothers Day cards.
May 15th we will be having a special Wine, Cheese and a Book Please. Jack (J. North) Conway, author of Cape Cod Canal: Breaking through the Bared and Bended Arm, will be joining us to sign copies of his book. "The cradle of New England's shipping doubled as its casket, earning the sailing route around Cape Cod the nickname of graveyard of the Atlantic. J. North Conway plunges into the character of Cape Cod, from its discovery to its chowder, and of the man who managed to cut a path through it."
I am off to New York to the National Stationery Show in NYC this month and I am sure I will find all sorts of treasures for the store. I am particularly looking for anything "green", recycled/reused.
June 15th, Fathers Day- We have some terrific ideas for that special man in your life from books on golf, Eldridge Tide Guides to nautical ties. How about a signed copy of Cape Cod Canal?
June 19th- we will be having our own local author, Randy Peffer joining our Wine, Cheese and a Book Please. His new book, Old School Bones a Cape Islands mystery has just been released. For those of you who read his novel Provincetown Follies Bangkok Blues, he has brought Michael DeCastro back for this mystery of murder, secret societies and racially motivated crime. Please join us for a tasting and author event.
July 17th- Charlie Poekel author of Babe and the Kid will be here for the 2nd time to sign and discuss his book. He came this winter and we had a wonderful turn out. Have a baseball fan, Babe Ruth fan? If so, this is a must have.
August 14th- Our guest will be renowned author, Joan Anderson, presenting and signing her fourth and newest book, The Second Journey: The Road Back to Yourself.
Of course we will send you a reminder as these events grow nearer.
YEAH SPRING!

Artist, Laura Von Zweck is now showing at the Bookstall. Laura works with her own pressed dried flowers and handmade papers. Her prices are very reasonable and they would make a great Mothers Day present. I will post pictures when I have more time so in the meantime come in and admire her wonderful art. Would you believe she actually sold one while she was hanging them up!! They may be a must for someone in your life. We have originals as well as Giclee prints. I think her work is fabulous so come on in and check it out for yourself.
