November is here, and with it our busiest season - and Small Business Saturday. Thank you for always making it a good day for Cellar Door. This season, however, I ask you to think carefully about how you spend your holiday dollars. 

Honestly, it isn't just about shopping small; it's about values. Some companies I choose to give business to - like REI and Chobani - aren't small. But they have shown that they will back up their progressive values with action, both internally and externally, and protect the rights of their workers, not just the CEOs. Still, in the face of growing megastores and monopolies that slowly chip away at the vibrancy of a healthy retail market, local and independent stores are important, too.

This Small Business Saturday, come to Cellar Door, get great book recommendations from our incredible booksellers, check out some other independently-owned shops nearby, and then go grab some food from one of the incredible indie eateries around here. Spend wisely and keep Riverside interesting!

November is upon us, and you know what that means: the holidays are around the corner! Wouldn't it be easier if you had already ordered an incredibly awesome gift for all of your staff/faculty/hard-working employees ahead of time? We have you covered. Come in, talk to our amazingly brilliant booksellers who can pair your needs with the perfect book, and ask us about our B2B programs that offer discounted prices for large orders because this year, everyone gets a book!   Talk to us!
