Books With Pictures Five-Year Anniversary Celebration & Sale!
June 2, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - June 6, 2021 @ 8:00 pm
Free🌟ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AND SALE!🌟
To celebrate Books with Pictures’ five years in business, we’re having our biggest sale ever, from tomorrow, June 2, through Sunday the 6th! We’ll have selected books and back issues for sale on the sidewalk for 65% off all week starting tomorrow, plus extra sales in store each day:
Wednesday, June 2: Superhero graphic novels are 25% off — and Pup Tent, the awesome new florist in our lot, will be in costume as… well, it’s a surprise.
Thursday, June 3: Zines and small-press comics are 50% off, and nonfiction graphic novels are 25% off.
Friday, June 4: Single issue comics are 75% off. Excludes books released 5/26 and 6/2. Excludes curated $3 back issue section.
Saturday, June 5: Non-superhero graphic novels are 25% off.
Sunday, June 6: Kids’ day! All kids’ books are 25% off, and members of the community cosplay group PDX Avengers will be here from noon to 3 — show off your own cosplay, too!
We’ll be bringing a party atmosphere over the weekend with decorations, our fancy photo backdrop, sidewalk chalk, and whatever other festive details we can cook up. We are NOT throwing a big party, because gatherings are still not the thing to do. Please mask up, and as store capacity is still limited for social distancing, you may need to wait to enter. We are very excited to see you and celebrate together!!
(After the sale, we’ll be closed Monday and Tuesday, June 7 and 8, for inventory… so you may want to stock up in advance.)
SEE YOU ALL SOON 💖
