A Note From Rocky's About Holiday Shopping/Shipping

The leftovers are packed away, taking up way too much space in your fridge...at least they are in mine (sadly, the entire US military did not show up as anticipated). The Thanksgiving glow is already fading into the frenzied Christmas* shopping mode (*insert appropriate holiday). This is a good time to mention a few things about ordering and shipping from Rocky's Mountain Books to facilitate timely delivery of your gift books.

Rocky's has been passing along ideas for gift books on this blog, and providing links to our product pages for easier ordering. If you spot something you like and proceed to the ordering part of the process with Amazon, don't be deterred by the long shipping lead times! Amazon has a tendency to over-inflate shipping times, especially for book resellers like Rocky's.

Fear not, and don't freak out when you see a lead time of 7-14 days! Firstly, the Evergreen P.O. is magical. I don't know how they do it, but I've sent books to Australia that were received in five business days. Secondly, if you ARE concerned and don't want to stress out about getting your package on time, CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY VIA EMAIL! Rocky's Mountain Books Email
 
I like my relationship with amazon so won't go into detail, but there are ways around this problem so you need to contact me DIRECTLY if you see a book in Rocky's inventory that you absolutely positively have to have ASAP. Simple as that. Now relax, sit back, and order up some holiday book lovin' from your favorite online seller, Rocky's Mountain Books!

Got Dogs? More Holiday Inspirations for Dog Lovers!

If you've followed Rocky's blog for any amount of time, you've probably figured out that I'm a dog lover of the first order. So it should come as no surprise that I'm drawn to books about dogs. For the fun of it, I just checked, and Rocky's has at least 10 in inventory right now. I know your time is valuable so I'm just going to list them with a brief condition description and a link to the specific product page. If you have questions about a specific book, please do not hesitate to ask!

Three Months and Counting...

You know it's that time of year...the stifling heat of summer is slowly giving way to the changing season. Then one Saturday morning you wake up, look at the calendar and say, "Holy Gift Giving, Batman! Christmas is only three months away!"  Yes, gift-giving season is upon us, and Rocky's Mountain Books wants you to know that we're here to help!

Over the next couple months I will showcase books from  Rocky's inventory that I've specifically selected for gift-giving purposes. In most cases these are very gently-used...books that I would feel comfortable giving or receiving. My 'Condition Notes' are honest and straightforward, and I encourage you to check them (as you should do when making ANY amazon.com purchase). Do keep in mind that I generally only have one copy of a particular title, so don't hesitate too long in clicking the 'Add to Cart' button. Once it's gone, it's...well, it's gone!

Dog Joy, The Happiest Dogs in the Universe is a wonderful compilation of photos categorized by 'Laughers', 'Adventurers', 'Waterdogs', 'First Friends' and more. We all know someone who'd love this book. There's a certain unique joyfulness about dogs and that's why we love them so. There are hundreds of photos of happy dogs, and opening just about any page is guaranteed to make you smile. Yoda's one of my personal favorites...
