Dear Friend:
As we enter our twenty-eighth year as your community bookstore, I would like to thank you for your continuing support of Boulder Book Store. I appreciate how strongly you feel about locally owned businesses, and your awareness of the importance these merchants play in maintaining the diverse economic vitality of our community.

In recent months we have upgraded our cash registers and phone system to provide you with better, faster service. In the coming year, we plan to maintain our high-quality author appearance series, and offer new services, such as same day delivery, as well as make improvements to our website for those times when it is not convenient for you to visit us.

As always, I invite your comments and suggestions. We need your input to remain Boulder’s best bookstore!
With Regards,

David Bolduc
Owner

JEFFREY RAFF
Wednesday, January 31, 7:30 p.m.

Jung and The Alchemical Imagination (Samuel Weiser, $18.95) by local author JEFFREY RAFF examines the spiritual nature of Jungian psychology. Unlike other books on Jung and alchemy that contain a psychological interpretation of alchemical material, this work uses alchemy to understand the three cornerstones of Jungian spirituality – the self, the transcendent function, and active imagination. By using the new concepts presented, we can gain insights into the nature of visionary and ecstatic experiences.

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!
