BIBLIOEXPEDITIONS LAUNCHES WITH MAY 6TH BOSTON BOOKSTORE TOUR

Pioneer Valley bookstore lovers can enjoy a day of Boston book-shopping Sunday, May 6, when they join BiblioExpeditions for our maiden bus-tour. Bibliophiles will stop first at New England Mobile Book Fair, featuring the Northeast's largest selection of discount titles. They'll continue on to the annual May Fair Festival in Harvard Square, to visit bookstores while sampling food, taking in author events, and enjoying live music and children's programs. Featured stores on the tour include Harvard Bookstore, Schoenhof's, Grolier Poetry Bookshop, Curious George Bookstore, Globe Corner Bookstore, and Pandemonium. The BiblioExpeditions bus departs Food For Thought Books, 106 North Pleasant Street, in Amherst, at 8am, Sunday, May 6th, returning to Food For Thought at 11pm. Bus tickets are $29 and can be purchased at Food For Thought, or on the web at www.BiblioExpeditions.com.

The first company in the nation to offer day-long outings to bookstores, BiblioExpeditions aims to support the field of independent bookselling by encouraging and assisting booklovers in bypassing the big-box chains and online retailers, and instead visiting outstanding independent bookstores. Future bookstore tours will visit New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, as well as bringing booklovers from these cities to the Pioneer Valley to visit our outstanding local bookstores and literary museums. BiblioExpeditions bus tours are organized and guided by Andy Laties, manager of the Eric Carle Museum Bookshop and author of the award-winning “Rebel Bookseller: How To Improvise Your Own Indie Store And Beat Back The Chains”.
