WELCOME!
Welcome to About Books Inc. It is another sunny, chilly day in Central Illinois - and the snow continues to melt! Here is another great Rachel picture to bring a smile to your faces.
Tour de Chocolate was a rousing success - even though the Front Street crowd was a mere fraction of the Main and Center Streets crowd, we drew some fun, quality folks into our stores! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and had some Kisses (the Hershey's type) with me. I saw some new faces and heard lots of great comments about the book store. I hope everyone comes back to take advantage of the 20% off coupons I handed out as well. I still have lots of chocolate left so stop in for books and chocolates sometime soon!
About Books Inc. is closing at 2 p.m. February 22. We have lost another family member, this time it is Rick's Uncle Dale. We will be heading to Fulton, IL for his visitation this evening. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Myona and Debbie and Mary Kay and their families.
Have an enjoyable last week of February and, as always, Keep Reading!

HAPPY FEBRUARY!
My new web site is up and running - even though it is still a work in progress.
www.aboutbooksbloomington.com
You can email the store (me) from that site as well as from the hotmail account:
aboutbooksinc@hotmail.com
A reminder that the new trade program is in effect - 1/2 trade, 1/2 cash.
I have opened ALLthe boxes in the back store room and have the books out on 'shelves' so I can see what is there. I never thought I would get that far back there, but, YEAH! There were about 5 more boxes of religion books, so keep an eye out for 'new' additions to the shelves.
Also, I'm sorry to anyone who came in to the store in January and were frightened by the dog. He likes being at the store, but he is very protective of me and his space. He is harmless, but sounds very scary when he barks (and looks very scary when he charges to the front from the back of the building)! I have decided he needs to protect the house more than me during the day, so About Books will be a dogless book store, or he'll have to be a back room dog!
Have fun at your Super Bowl parties - Go, Bears! Or, if you are like me, enjoy the movie or whatever else you opt to do instead of watching the entire game.
