Holiday Book Fair
Dec

Holiday Book Fair

Books on Main & Tipsy Tee Tavern present a Holiday Book Fair for all ages!

Head to Tipsy Tee for a one-stop shop for everyone on your list (yourself included!). There will be books and bookish gifts for all ages and interests.

Here are some tips for first-time book fairgoers:

-The early bird gets the book! We bring in A LOT of books and bookish gifts but they still go fast.
-If you see something you like, grab it! We usually only bring in 1 or 2 copies of a book unless it's a really popular title. This allows us to bring in more variety, but it does mean that once it's gone, it's gone, so don't miss out!
-Take your time. You can come in, scoop the loop, and go, but you'd miss out on the best parts of a book fair - hanging out with friends, talking to fellow book lovers, and sipping on some delicious drinks from Tipsy Tee.

See you there!
