crime itself, but also the many-layered social
fabric of the town, and the relationship between
the town and the owners of the resort.

truly happy long-term relationships.

MATOTT
Thursday, February 22, 7:30 p.m.
In Independence Days (Brewers Publications, $18.95),
JUSTIN MATOTT takes readers into the mysterious
world of friendship and discovery peculiar to all
of us. Wry, funny, and often sobering, the
stories revolve around the catalyst that forges
friendships, diffuses differences, and inspires
revelations. At their center is one peripheral,
almost subliminal but unifying element: Beer.
Independence Days

humans and animals can mutually benefit from
heightened awareness and respect.

| How
Can You Tell An Independent Book Store
From A Chain? INDEPENDENTS HAVE BOOK
SENSE
|
 |
Passion. Knowledge.
Personality. Community Involvement. That's what
it means to have Book Sense and
that's why Boulder Book Store has joined with
thousands of independents around the country to
make our customers more aware of the dedication
and diversity you can find by avoiding cookie
cutter chains and seeking out independent
businesses.
Book Sense
is, in part, a marketing campaign (designed by
those very smart "Got Milk?" people) to
promote awareness of independents. You can now
see the Book Sense logo in the windows of your
favorite local book stores. Plus, when you're
traveling, you'll be able to seek out new
independents that really reflect their local
culture.
Look for the bi-monthly
Book Sense newsletter, as well
as our Book Sense Bestseller
display at the Boulder Book Store. You can also
purchase Book Sense gift
certificates, which are good at more than 1,100
Book Sense stores across the country!
BOOK FAIR THIS MONTH
This month we are
hosting one book fair to help a local school
raise funds. Please stop by and support the
school by mentioning to the bookseller at the
