Byrd's Books Newsletter for October 2019

This is my favorite time of year. Not only for the lovely weather and spectacular leaves, but for all the new books that come out in October. I just returned from the New England Booksellers Association trade show renewed and inspired. I look forward to ordering the books I was lucky enough to learn about and to share them with you! Thank you for your support of independent bookselling,
