Next, Selkie is providing a $50 Gift Certificate Door Prize – free entry for our browsers and shoppers on 4/26 ~ No Expiration, No Exclusions. Why this $50 amount for this Special Day? (If you’ve been noticing, it’s the Door Prize value amount Selkie is offering at all our 2025 Special Events!) Because Selkie and the Captain are celebrating the bookstore’s 5 happy, wonderful years in Rock Hall as of August 2025 ~ Selkie thinks of it as 50 for 5 in 25!
Selkie is launching on 4/26 our Rare Books Buying Bonanza Period that will run thru the Graduation Months of May and June! Selkie is covering 15% off Selkie’s own and our Local Consignors’ simply marvelous Collections of Rare & Collectible Books! The perfect gift that shows you care for your giftees and that you understand the essential importance of not only rare but all Real Books ~ inscribable, annotatable, meaningful keepsakes ~ to the education of our progeny and to the preservation of our civilization. With that thought, Selkie also is giving to the first ten Rare Book purchasers a free copy of Walter M Miller, Jr’s “A Canticle for Leibowitz.”
