Back to School!

School Bus

The first day of school is always one of the most exciting days of the year! Many of the staff members at the Bookcase are current or former teachers, and we think we know better than anybody else in town how to support teachers, students and parents during the school year.

A few things we'd like to remind you of ...

For Schools we offer discounts on bulk orders (2+ of the same title) usually starting at 25%. Orders generally come quickly, and we will often deliver them -- in person -- to your school free of charge (if you are in the Twin Cities).

For Teachers we offer a standard 25% discount on all books used in the classroom. All you have to do is ask for it, and be prepared to show some sort of ID (a school name badge is okay) so that we know where you are from.

For Students we offer outstanding personalized service. Looking for a specific type of book for a book report? We can help! Need something to read during silent reading time at school? Ask us!

For Parents we offer the assurance that only comes with experience in both books and kids. We are teachers, parents, and students ourselves -- and we can help you find exactly what your kids need!

If you have any questions about how we can help you, please don't hesitate to contact the store owner Charlie Leonard. Charlie is a former middle school teacher, and continues to work with middle school and high school students through Blue Water Theatre Company.  

Gear West & The Bookcase welcome Christopher McDougall

 

Born to RunGear West and The Bookcase are pleased to welcome Christopher McDougall, author of the bestselling book Born to Run.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:30 in the evening at Gear West in Long Lake (1786 West Wayzata Boulevard).

McDougall traveled to Mexico's Copper Canyon to discover the running secrets of the Tarahumara Indians. For centuries, the Tarahumara have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest. How do they do it? That's exactly what McDougall wanted to know.

Part cultural anthropology mixed with personal memoir and the history of running,Born to Run is "hilariously funny, weird, and nonstop fun to read. Runners can sink their teeth into it," says Bill Rodgers, a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon.

Christopher McDougall is a former war correspondent for the Associated Press and is now a contributing editor for Men's Health. A three-time National Magazine Award finalist, he has written for Esquire, The New York Times Magazine,Outside, Men's Journal, and New York. He does his own running among the Amish farms around his home in rural Pennsylvania. 

Tickets are $5.00, and are available at either Gear West or The Bookcase. 

This is an event that you won't want to miss!
