We have been busier than one-arm wallpaper hangars!

We are opening the book store on Monday, August 15. I won't have all the stock unpacked and inventoried for a few weeks, but I think I'll have enough on the shelves of interest and to be worth a visit.

Please come by and see us! We are located at the southern end of Pescador Drive, across the courtyard from Mickey's Restaurant. Look for our signs and the purple golf cart named "Barney".

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

...readers unite!!

Good luck on your new fenture.

And I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks, you guys. Please come by and introduce yourself. I'd love to put a face with a "handle"!

congrats and welcome! Maybe I can finish my current book by monday!!

I'll be there on Monday!

Sorry if I missed it... the golf cart is named "Barney", what is the name of the Bookstore?

We will definately stop in (like often) as soon as we set foot on island. Great to here about this! Congrats!!

Ah, the bookstore is named "Barefoot Books".

For those of you who know where Simon was, we have Simon's former space...and then some!

Some credits...Smurf painted the mural on the front of our store, the golf cart and the sign on the street. Sam (the cabinet man) built our shelves and check out counter.

Thanks so much!

Is this a used or new book store?

Congrats! It is great to hear and well needed! Best of luck to you!!

Been and bought. Worth a stop by, the prices are great. $10US for 3 paperbacks for my trip.

We have book new and used books, just about any genre imaginable. We also have greeting cards, bookmarks, gift bags, gift books...

Sounds great.... nothing goes better with a lazy beach holiday than a ton of books to read at your leisure. I don't suppose you sell stationary as well? Would love to pick up something unique/local to be able to write letters to friends on.

cindyb...I have some great like new paperbacks in the garage collecting dust and the spiders are reading them! I would like to donate them to you when I come down in February. About a microwave box full. Can you use them? Good luck and congrats!

I could use the microwave.

If you're serious I have one like new! I can bring it for the shipping cost of one rum and coke!

Sure I can use it since the electric co. finally zapped my old one. But I'd owe you at least 57 rum 'n' cokes.

Ok...you can have it for 2 rum and cokes! let me know what else. We had 2 complete housholds merged into 1!

Hey Cindy good work. So glad to have a bookstore. We always cart down books and then run out. Enjoy your new life.

The San Pedro library will also be quite happy to take your books when you're finished. They subsist on donations and it leaves more room in your suitcase for One Barrel on the way home

Second alternative - purchase your books from cindyb, read them on the beach, then donate them to the library - less to haul both ways!

I am always in the market for books! I am stocked to the gills currently though.

I donate to the library as well. Especially reference, textbooks and the like.

Lawcucui, you are right...the best of all worlds would be to sell me the books you bring, buy books with your credit and then donate them to the library when you are finished!

I have a small supply of stationary and note cards now and plan to carry more in the future, many are asking for it.

Let me know what you'd like to see and I'll make it happen if I can.

cindyb...I'm bringing a bunch of school books for the kids and I'll stop by with the paperbacks. Will the library like romance novels that mrs. reaper is done with? Do you sell The HoCaye News? Looking forward to seeing the place!

I think IKant is way out there, therefore he is.

DO NOT send books about Existentialism to San Pedro!! Its hard enough to get anything done...even without philosophical justification.

Descartes walks into a café and sits down ready to order. A waiter comes up to him and asks, "Do you need a menu?" Descartes replies, "I think not," and he disappears!

What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vender? "Make me one with everything."

It's a joke - Kant you get it? (I could explain it but then it wouldn't be funny anymore - it wasn't that funny to start with )

You guys are getting pretty "high brow" here...

It's all talk - personally, I hope when we get there you have a sufficient selection of salacious mind candy!

Hello All!

I have finally gotten our online store up and running through ABE books. If you are in country and would like to order online, this is the place to do it. We actually shipped our first order via Maya Air last Saturday.

There's also LOTS of stock in the store that's not listed online.

Here's the link:

There's also a link on our web site at:
www.barefootbooks-belize.com

Thanks for tolerating this shameless self-promotion!

cindyb

Cindy,
The first link doesn't work (I think the "Roseberrybooktique" part is wrong...), but I found it through the link on your webpage. Was hoping to find some by my favorite author - Jodi Picoult.

Good luck with the bookstore. Books are one of my favorite things.

Kathy

KC,

Thanks! I thought I had changed every place I had noted the link.

The correct link is http://www.abebooks.com/home/barefootbks/

I don't think I've got Picoult in the unpacked boxes. Sorry!

I make a note everytime you folks ask about an author so that I can include them in my buying searches. Thanks!

Cindy,
No problem. I'll bring you some in November (Picoult books). If you haven't read her, you're in for a treat.

kathy

reaper, do you have an email addy where I can send you a private message? Just PM me and let me know.
Thanks.........
