Split Decision

It's a "wraparound" Sunday coming up for the store and a great opportunity to make a day of it in downtown New Albany.

Ann and I are splitting up that day so we can participate in the renewal of the Mansion Row Garden Stroll, an event the Main Street Preservation Association intends to be an annual one.

We had already scheduled an event for June 12, but were delighted when asked to add a vendor component to our neighbors' fundraiser. Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 on the day of the stroll. For information and advance tickets, call 981-8000. The tour is self-guided and credentials and information can be picked up at the Admiral Bicknell Inn. It lasts from 1 to 5 p.m. Tour participants can enter a drawing to win a door prize valued at $35 at the Destinations Booksellers tent at 513 East Main Street.

We, as usual, open at noon and will be starting our big BookExpo America giveaway for Patron Passport members. Drop by and see some of the new books coming out this summer and fall and stake your claim to one of the many autographed books, advanced reading editions, and galley proofs I gathered during my New York sojourn. Park here and walk over to 600 E. Main for the stroll guidebook, and we'll keep the store open for a little while after the MSPA event for late shopping.
