November at The Galaxy Bookshop

During this season of thanks, we want to take a moment to let you know how thankful we are to have customers like you. Your support of The Galaxy Bookshop means everything to us, and we can't say that too often.

A recent tradition that we've come to look forward to each year is our Week of Gratitude, during the week of Thanksgiving, leading up to Small Business Saturday. (Read more about Small Business Saturday below!) This year, we will once again celebrate our customers with a week of giveaways! Will you be one of the lucky winners?
