Fall Edition, 2008
A new season begins down here at the bookstore (San Felipe Title Co) and we feel like this will be a fantastic year for several reasons….. first and foremost we have moved into a new location…. After almost 8 years up on the balcony next to Baja Java and Randy’s Shadetree computer and internet service we have moved south a short distance…. We are now located at 183A Mar de Cortez which is next door to Cesar’s Restaurant and just down the block from Champo’s Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor……… Change is good but with it comes certainly more than a touch of sorrow…. If not for Karen and Vince talking us into starting a bookstore in their bakery we would have never started this venture….. and will miss Karen/Manual and all the wonderful ladies of Baja Java we all had such a very special relationship.

Turning to the positive side and there are many upsides to the new location….. as we all move up the age scale the new location is much easier to access….. and moving from a very crowded 870 sq ft space into one that is 2,400 sq ft it unbelievable….. much better lighting and a more relaxing atmosphere …. It is not a totally completed job but considering the empty shell of a building we have worked hard with the help of others to put together what we feel is a bookstore this community can very proud of and one which will offer a huge selection of fine used and new books….. if you would like to view a few pictures of the move in progress (back in July) check out our web site and click onto Gallery …… we moved approx 600 boxes of books to the new location and thanks to the engineering skills of Randy who build the ‘BOOK CHUTE’ the total move was accomplished in about 4 days and that included all the book cases….. the new space has allowed us to put in a really nice selection of children’s books and hope that in the future many local children will take advantage of the fun books available….. in addition we now have a space for Catalina’s art work and for other artists who wish to show their own work….. this in no way will be an Art Gallery but rather just a space for local artists to show their work on a limited time basis and will be absolutely free….. i.e. no sales here at the book store and thus no commission……

Sunday nights throughout the year will be a little different from now on….. What we are calling “UNDERGROUND FILM NIGHT AT THE BOOKSTORE” the films most of which will not be mainstream…. But rather come under the heading of ‘CAMP’ ‘CULT’ ‘FOREIGN (ENGLISH SUB-TITLES)’ ‘EDGY’ will be shown every Sunday night at 7:00PM…. Of course free of charge and we’ll have limited refreshments…. i.e. Coffee/Tea….Cookies…..Popcorn…. will publish a tentative schedule of films at the bookstore and they will be included in the next BOOKBEAT in Dec…..

UPCOMING EVENT….SUNDAY NOV 23RD at 2:00PM. Curious about our BAJA birds? Kathy Keane (The Baja Bird Lady) will be giving a presentation about our little feathered neighbors. 2:00pm on SUNDAY, NOV 23RD. As always coffee/tea and Ed’s ‘HOMESTYLE’ cookies are free. . REMEMBER IT WILL BE AT OUR NEW LOCATION……
