Bookstore tips for Fort Langley

Browsing in Fort Langley? A little strategy helps:

• Ask about the book club discount at Wendel's Books. Many shops discount book-club orders. If your club buys local, everyone wins.
• Ask the booksellers at The Cube. A good bookseller lives for the question 'what should I read next?' Give them three books you loved and watch them work.
• Check the bargain carts outside. Sidewalk carts are the shop's clearance rack. A dollar a book, and the turnover is fast.
• Magazines and journals matter. The little-magazine rack is where new writers appear first. Cheap, weird, and full of discoveries.
