EXCERPT: FEW WOMEN IN AMERICA ARE MORE EMINENTLY QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT THAT SACRED INSTITUTION WE CALL MARRIAGE . . . "I consider myself one of the most fortunate women alive. Why? Because I am totally married to a man in every sense of the word: physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually . . . This is such a marvelous and joyous thing that nothing else in life can approach it. It's the greatest of all adventures."--Mrs. Norman Vincent Peale - and - Mrs. Norman Vincent Peale Speaks Out . . . On Femininity: "I don't pretend for a moment that the lavender-and-lace type of woman could come back and function successfully in today's streamlined world. But if modern women are wise, they will make a conscious and deliberate effort to retain some of her qualities: the gentleness, the compassion, yes, the purity that men once expected from their wives--and still hope for and still need, whether they admit it or not." On Marital Problems: "Don't expect perfection from the person you married, because you can't offer it yourself. Study your man and try to supply his basic emotional needs." On Happiness: "Happiness isn't something that you can deliberately set out to achieve for yourself. in fact, the more you focus on your own happiness, or lack of it, the more it will continue to elude you. The best way to get happiness is to give it." . . . and much more in this honest, inspirational, and refreshing approach to being a wife.

Shop-Beschreibung

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.
