Godspeed…

Packing the first day's books for shipment

Go then, my little Book, and show to all
That entertain and bid thee welcome shall,
What thou dost keep close shut up in thy breast;
And wish what thou dost show them may be blest
To them for good, may make them choose to be
Pilgrims better, by far, than thee or me.

Louise May Alcott, from the preface to Little Women

Celebrating a wonderful first week for Lanier’s Books and all the book children en route to new homes. Thank you for making our launch such an overwhelming success! And you can look for new titles in the Bookshop next week!

  1. Oh, oh, I love it! The photo of the packing, the first exciting week of business success, everything.

    Can’t wait to receive our package. 🙂 We’ll be set for bedtime reading for the rest of the year…

  2. I’m also looking forward to receiving one of those “book children.” I assure you it will have a good home!

  3. It was a pleasure shopping on your site. I am excited to receive my new books. Rest assured they will receive a loving home at my house! ~ L

  4. Ooooh! How I would love to order a book just to get a beautiful parcel like that. I have in mind a particular title but it isn’t yet on your list. But I shall just wait and see if it arrives. 🙂 In the meantime, congratulations.

    1. Meredith, I would be happy to keep my eyes out for anything if you’d ever like me to. 🙂

  5. Lanier, I just LOVE my new book! I’ve already decided that if (and when) I ever get some hens, the first one will be named ‘Miss Read’! I can just hear the chatter ‘over the gate’ … Thank You!!

  6. What a lovely picture and poem! I’m very excited about receiving my package and welcoming new “friends” into our home!

  7. Oh … I love the picture of the package. It’s so elegant and lovely! I hope every week of business is as happy as your first …

    Are you planning to make a little button-thingy for bloggie-friends to pop in their sidebars? Because if you ARE, I’d love to sign up … 🙂

    1. If you go to my Links page you will find a button at the bottom of the page that the wonderful Gretchen made. 🙂 Yours for the taking! Thanks for asking, Elisabeth!
