| What's New |
- Do you love Edgar Allan Poe? Do you love lunch? If your midday sandwich is not
all it could be, jazz it up with our new Edgar Allan Poe Lunchbox. This
sturdy-handled lunchbox features an embossed portrait of the morose author on
one side and a macabre scene with Raven on the other. Lunch has never been so
fun!
Available in our shoppe for $16.50 + sales tax. You can order the lunch box by email
info@bluestockingbooks.com , by phone
619-296-1424 or through Paypal.
Please provide your email address and shipping
address. We will calculate your postage rate and, if you chose Paypal, send an
invoice to you through PayPal which will include your total due. Lunch is on!
And remember, we also carry a Poe magnet with his pithy quote: "I Became
insane, with Long Intervals of Horrible Sanity."
- We're featuring Blue Orange Brand Games, in addition to our fun and fabulous
reads. Mini-party games Spot It and Spot It, Jr., will have your mind racing.

the schoolyard, tells you more than who you're going to marry, Pixy Cubes get
your creativity flowing, and Sumoku re-envisions crossword puzzles with
numbers. The bookstore is not just for books anymore, but if you are looking
for books, try our coloring books and crayons, and create your own work of art.
- "Wow! Now I can see!" If you have ever uttered these words, or would like to,
we now carry reading glasses, in a variety of styles and strengths. For every
pair sold, 2020VISION donates $1 to the American Booksellers Foundation for
Freedom of Expression - the bookseller's voice in the fight against censorship.

as classics we've loved for years. We're proud to feature new Dover thrift

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, W.E.B. DuBois and Frederick Douglass, Hafiz and Rumi,
Nietzsche and Hesse, Darwin and Dostoevsky, Helen Keller and Homer, Tolstoy and
Twain, and so many more. And the coolest part is, most of the books are under
