Garth Stein at Pages

Didja come? Didja catch it? Didja hear?


Pages was lucky enough to have this wonderful author stop by our store and play host to a bevy of his adoring fans and readers.


Full to the brim, the store was filled with good snacks, drinks and conversation as the audience waited with anticipation for the arrival of Mr. Stein who did not disappoint. The reading of his novel, Art of Racing in the Rain was peppered with delightful anecdotes that had everyone alternating between gasps of laughter and wiping away the beginnings of tears. So far, this event was definitely one of the best and most widely attended that we have had so far here at Pages.
Again, thank you Mr. Stein for entertaining everyone that night and we hope that you can come back whenever you're in Arizona again.

Woohoo!

~Happy Birthday Pages!~



On March 19th Pages celebrated it's one year anniversary!




Thanks to everyone who has helped to make this year a fantastic one and let's make sure that the best Independent bookstore around makes it to year 2!
