Now on Fall/Winter hours: OPEN MONDAY - SATURDAY, 10am to 5pm. CLOSED Sunday.

Come join us for upcoming events:

• Saturday, January 30 from 1 - 3pm: Local surgeon and author Shaun Melarvie, MD, FACS - Dr. Melarvie discusses and signs his new book based on his own medical and personal experience, The Relativity Diet: a Diet Theory of Everything.

  The Relativity Diet is filled with evidence based science, not hocus-pocus or wishful thinking. If you already know in your mind what you should do to lose weight but nobody has found a way to motivate you to actually do it, this is, finally, the book you've been waiting for.

• Still available! Midwest Bookseller's Association (MBA) Reader's Catalog - Each year, Midwest Bookseller's Association publishes this catalog to help you shop locally for books for the holidays and every day. The catalog includes the Midwest Booksellers' Choice Award Winners for 2009. Pick up a catalog at Novel Ideas. It includes a coupon for 10% off the list price of any one book in the catalog through January 31, 2010.

  Find great gift ideas for the entire family in the MBA Reader's Catalog!
