Grand Opening!

We cordially invite you to the Grand Opening of Books Books Books this Saturday, 3rd May, at our new address at Rue du Valentin 1. We have a few thousand more books, including new sections for poetry-lovers, crime-enthusiasts, romance-readers and fans of fiction in translation. On Saturday, the talented singer-songwriter JayD will play an acoustic set on his guitar at 10.30. At 14.00 we will serve tea and yummy, home-made scones. Finally, a CHF 100 gift certificate is up for grabs for the winner of our book hunt. You can take part in the book hunt any time during the day, you just need your phone and some determination. …and don’t forget to ask for your 10% discount on our new books through the month of May. Just ask for it at the till using the code word, “I would like a 10% discount, please”
