Antoinette Dillon (neè Brown) returns after a brief stint with Dixon Public Library, where we figure she found promoting the Library's offerings a little less rewarding than selling the ever-changing on-hand stock here (but we still love you DPL!). Books on First has known her as a voracious reader and bookgiver since she was nine years old and welcomes her book recommendations again.
The world is everchanging and sometimes, not for the better, unfortunately. With the new 
eBook partnership, Books on First and IndieCommerce regret to announce that customers are unable to use your Books on First giftcards to buy ebooks online.
You can still buy titles in other formats (hardcover, paperback, audio CDs) with a Books on First gift card as well as buy a Books on First giftcard which we will send especially to that lucky recipient (free postage!) who can use it with us online (for everything but ebooks) and in-store.
When is a Search not a Search?
When it's a Find!
Serendity is the word of the day.
Seek (a book by topic) and ye shall find!
In honor of 100 years (Larry's 80th birthday on February 20th, and our 20th anniversary in October), we will be offering specials everyday leading up to our anniversary. See our Facebook page for the special of the day!

Our resident artiste Sydni Reubin has commissioned blank greeting cards with great reproductions of her paintings of Books on First, Elvis and others. They're being sold in artfully-twined packs of 5. What a great gift idea for yourself or a loved one to encourage the fine tradition of writing (and receiving!) a handwritten note. Come in before they're all gone.
