Today’s Children’s Books

I found myself reading the best children’s book the other day in Elliott Bay. Maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s called “Go the F*** to Sleep” and it recently made headlines after it was narrated by THE Samuel L. Jackson. Okay so maybe it’s not as educational as “Everybody Poops.” It’s certainly more vulgar, but I think it’s a story that everyone can appreciate.

When you get a chance and you find yourself in a book store next, make sure you flip through a few pages. I guarantee you that it will bring a smile to your face. I sort of…want it for my coffee table?

Happy Birthday Elliott Bay!

It was exactly one year ago today that Elliott Bay moved it’s location from Pioneer Square to the wonderful neighborhood of Capitol Hill. This is one of my favorite spots on the hill because it is such a retreat from the rest of the city, but unfortunately, the only time I get to actually enjoy it is in the summer when I have the time. As a one year birthday gift to you all, Elliott Bay is offering a 15% coupon to all of you if you visit between April 14th – April 20th. Sound like a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Snag your coupon here.

I Love New York Deli coming to Capitol Hill!

Capitol Hill is on the verge of a major breakthrough. First Po Dog, Seattle University’s numerous remodelings, renovations of old buildings, Elliott Bay Book Company’s moving, and now we can add I Love New York Deli to the list.

The new I Love New York Deli location will be right off Broadway between Pike and Pine (of course.) Everyone get ready for amazing sandwiches and … get ready for this… they might be open 24 hours! Seattle University students, you now have one more late night eatery option to add to your list of “places to eat after a night out on the hill.” All this time, you’ve had the street meat, Pita Pit, Dicks, etc, but now you can sink your teeth into a nice delicous sandwich. Competition beware.

In local Capitol Hill News…

Elliott Bay Book Company will be moving from Pioneer Square to a new location on Capitol Hill.

What exactly does this mean?

The bookstore is scheduled to open around mid-march on “1521 10th Avenue, right next to Oddfellow’s Hall between Pike and Pine.”

It will be about 19,000 square feet and an amazing additon to the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The new location will also feature more parking spaces below the street level and near the store and have a cafe built in! No word yet on if they will be selling used books as well as new books.

For more details, read here for a letter from Peter Aaron, the owner of the Elliott Bay Book Company.
