Bargain hunters and book lovers rejoice: Horizon Books on 15th Avenue in Capitol Hill is having a big sale. Everything (and I mean everything) is 50% off. Horizon Books is one of my favorite bookstores in the entire city because they always have what I need (I don't just want books, I need them) and I was delighted (but wary) when I saw the signs outside the cottage proclaiming the sale. It is evident by the empty shelves that people are taking advantage of the sale. I walked out with brand new copies of Love Monkey by Kyle Smith and a seafood cookbook and didn't even spend eight bucks.
When I inquired about the sale the response I got was, "We might have to move, but we don't know." I don't know if it's code for for "our lease is up and we're getting kicked out but moving across town" or "we're going to have to close," but I sincerely hope it isn't the latter. But if it is, now just might be the time to stock up on titles for holiday gifts and supplement your home library.
Horizon Books is located at 425 15th Ave. E., Capitol Hill, Seattle 98112 (206) 329-3586
