It’s been quite a year, with our move into a new location.  We’d like to take a second to thank all of our loyal customers who showed remarkable patience before, during and after the move.  Thank you all so much!  Not sure what we’re going to do for an encore in 2009.  Of course, the Coffee Shop is still in the future.  Anyone out there who would like to run their own business, with a minimum of start up, get in touch at info@upnorthbooks.com, or call us at (906) 632-6620.  We’d much prefer to rent the space, rather than run it ourselves.  We’ve discovered already that the bookstore is plenty to keep us busy.

Steve Hamilton is coming out with a new book in March.  That’s always cause for celebration.  We are taking pre-orders for The Crimes of Michael K.  It will be available in hardcover in early March.  We’ll let you know if and when Steve will be here for a visit and a book signing.

Guess that’s all for new.  To all of our friends,  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mike & Marge
