A Wonderland of Local Love at Bookmans this November
Autumn has arrived in Arizona! Aspen leaves up north change from green to fiery golds and oranges. The saguaro and agave enjoy chilly temperatures (of 85 degrees) in southern climes of the state. Though our diversity shines from Ponderosa Pine country to the Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona’s awesome local businesses are a common thread. This November, Bookmans celebrates homegrown Arizona commerce and community. Statewide non-profit organization, Local First AZ shows that just a 10% shift from corporate chains to locally-owned businesses creates millions in economic activity, adds hundreds of new jobs and provides higher wages for workers in our communities. Even better, don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your local-vore knowledge while you shop! Join Bookmans this month for a veritable cornucopia of fun and local events. Each store hosts free activities to inspire awareness of Arizona non-profits, shops, restaurants and other businesses. Stop by every location for local-themed events that help make our neighborhood better. From the Certified Local Fall Festival to local business fairs, discover what treasures exist in our Grand Canyon State.

Am the Author of “Reasoning to Live” and wondered how to physically present my book at Book-mans .
Hi Jerry, we hope this message finds you well. Depending on which location you want to get in contact with, you can find their information here. You would want to contact whichever store you were hoping to get in to, assuming that your book was something that we can promote. Any of the event contacts you’ll find on the store page are the best person to talk to, and of course you can visit our event page if you want to look into specific events you may want to be a part of. Again I can only speculate as to if we can promote your book or not, but I hope that it works out in your favor. Please do let me know if you have any other questions and how I can help further. Have a great day!
