Happy 50th Birthday Bookstore: Books From 1960


In celebration of our 50th birthday, The Bookstore is hosting a 50th Anniversary Party on August 19, 2010 at 7pm. All of our customers, including kids, teens and adults are invited to enjoy the cake, drinks and raffle prizes.

In case you weren't even born yet, or in case you were but can't seem to remember, here is a list of a few of our favorite books from 1960:



Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss
One Fish Two Fish ... by Dr. Seuss
Cricket in Times Square by George Selden
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Hawaii by James Michener
The Leopard by Giuseppe di Lampedusa
The Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich by William Shirer
Advise and Consent by Allen Drury
(1960 Pulitzer Prize)
Goodbye Columbus by Philip Roth
(1960 National Book Award)

We love surprises, so we'll just drop a hint at this point: some of our raffle prizes just might bring you back to 1960. Please join us and share in the 60's fun! RSVP to (630) 469-2891 or justbook475@yahoo.com. See you then!
