We are working with A Baby Center (ABC) to make sure that every child served will receive a book during this holiday season. ABC is committed to the importance of reading and literacy for every child. ABC serves income-eligible families with young children. Requests for their services have quadrupled this year!

Would you like to help? Donations of books or money to purchase books would be greatly appreciated. Money will be used to purchase high quality, specially priced books that allow your money to go even further.

You can donate money by going to https://www.ababycenter.org/. Click the DONATE button on the Home page. Once you fill in the donation amount, you can write in how much of the donation should go toward books and how much to their other programs.

One of our most important goals at Titcomb's is to provide a thoughtfully selected collection of books for you to choose from. We'd like to suggest that you consider books from University presses. We carry a select collection of books from Harvard University Press, Yale University Press, University of Chicago Press and Princeton University Press.

These presses have books aimed for general readers (not just grad students!), but the writers are knowledgeable, the books are carefully edited and they feature lively and fascinating looks at history, nature, current events and more! Some of these books could make wonderful gifts - to yourself or others! What follows is a sampling of some of the books we try to keep in stock.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Best American series is an annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction. Each volume's series editor selects notable works from hundreds of magazines, journals, and websites. A special guest editor, a leading writer in the field, then chooses the best pieces to publish. This unique system has made the Best American series the most respected—and most popular of its kind. Click on a book for more information or to order.

We will have signed copies of Salley Mavor’s beautiful picture books, My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World and Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes beginning Saturday, November 21. If you would like Salley to inscribe your book to a special someone, please order by Thursday, November 19. These books make perfect baby gifts!!
