We gave out lots of treats this past Saturday, and luckily were not on the receiving end of any tricks. “Jane Austen” paid the store a visit — in fact she even rang up a few sales.

For the next installment of the Second Sunday Salon At Second Hand Prose, John MacKinnon, owner of MacKinnon Printing, will address the topic of self publishing.

Have you ever thought about publishing your writing? Self pub­lish­ing may be more affordable and take less time than you think. Mr. MacKinnon has 26 years of providing affordable, high-quality print­ing services to individuals and businesses.

Come at 2:30 pm on Sunday Oct. 11 for this seminar and light re­freshments.

Sarah is even now enjoying her sendoff party — complete with shortbread and tea. We gave her a tee shirt to remember us by, and to spread the word about Second Hand Prose Books, of course.
