Barrett Bookstore Grand Re-Opening!

Barrett Bookstore celebrates a new
look. Fairfield County’s oldest independent bookstore has seen many changes
since it opened on Broad Street in Stamford in 1939. It has been at its present
location in Noroton Heights Shopping Center since 1989. “We moved everything
around to give the store a more inviting, open look and to create a special
area for middle readers, a growing audience for us,” says Sheila Daley, owner
of Barrett Bookstore since 1997.  “We also added a lovely cherry library
case that will contain a collection of modern first editions. Part of the new
design includes an area easily converted to accommodate author events and book
club gatherings.”

On Saturday, September 7th old and
new customers are invited to check out the renovations, receive 10% off any
purchase and enter their name for a raffle for some great prizes. The first
prize winner may select an Advance Reader Copy of their choice each month for a
year – a great opportunity to preview hot titles from the major publishing houses.
 Second prize is a Penguin boxed set of their favorite upcoming books.
Third Prize is three Advance Reader Copies. For Book Groups, a chance to have a
special Skype chat with an author will be part of the prizes raffled. And
younger readers may enter their name to win a set of the 15th anniversary
edition of the Harry Potter series with the newly designed covers.  Not to
leave out the youngest readers, two fabulous new jumbo board books along with a
plush toy will be part of the prizes.
