What with Cruise Night taking place on Rosser Avenue between 6th and 10th Streets, I thought I would try and stretch the activities on towards 11th by having a sidewalk sale in front of the store. The prices and selection will be the same as at the sale: all genres and formats for $2.50/book or 5 for $10.
The last of our authors has been through the store. With summer upon us, we do not have any readings or signings scheduled until the fall. However, if the planets aligned correctly, we should have an excellent array of notable individuals for you to meet.
As always, suggestions are welcomed.

Two More Authors in June
June is turning out to be an incredibly busy month! Two more authors have been confirmed for talks and signings at Pennywise.
June 20 at 7:00 PM
Bill Stilwell, author of Manitoba, Naturally will be in the store to talk about and sign copies of his book.
FROM THE BACK COVER:
Manitoba, Naturally: Scenic Secrets of Manitoba is a treasure trove of information about sixty special places that help make Manitoba one of the most exciting and inspiring places on earth. Some are not well known, while others lie right under our noses. Either way, all it takes is your sense of adventure and the useful tips and trips in this book to get you going in the right direction.
Scenic Secrets of Manitoba, a best-seller by author Bill Stilwell, shared first-hand experience and knowledge of Manitoba. Now Manitoba, Naturally invites you to explore and enjoy more of Manitoba's best scenic secrets.
Let this book be your guide to an exciting nature experience. This is Manitoba at its best; and Manitoba, Naturally!
June 22 at 7:00 PM
Bartly Kives, Winnipeg Free Press reporter, will be at Pennywise Books to discuss and sign copies of his first book -- A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba.
FROM THE BACK COVER:
Sandwiched between North Dakota and Nunavut, Manitoba has never been the busiest chunk of tourism real estate in North America. To independent travellers, this is a good thing: Canada's undiscovered province offers uncrowded beaches, innumerable lakes and forests and unlikely cultural attractions, especially in the gritty/cool capital, Winnipeg.
A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba is the first comprehensive travel handbook to the province -- and an indispensible tool for visitors from abroad, Canadians passing through and Manitobans who simply want to get to know their own backyard.
Get the straight goods on cities, towns and natural attractions in every corner of the province, compiled by one of Manitoba's most tenacious independent travellers, Winnipeg Free Press columnist Bartley Kives.
Plunder a small-town gift shop.
Eyeball turn-of-the-last-century architecture.
Commune with nature in wild areas that still feel wild.
And forget what you think you know about the Canadian Prairies -- the only thing flat about Manitoba is the Trans-Canada Highway.
For more information about either of these events, please do not hesitate to contact us here at Pennywise. Hope to see you soon!
