LIMITED EDITION HAND COLOURED WOOD ENGRAVING BY ALAN STEIN
SITTIN’ ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Otis Redding’s words – Alan Stein’s art
So many of our customers asked how they could help us after the fire in the Beatty Building on 31 May 2020 destroyed all of our stock and fixtures. We were overwhelmed and humbled by the desire of so many who offered support and assistance.
Charlotte asked me to make this wood engraving so that it could be offered to our customers who have been so very supportive with kind words and purchases, in the past 3 months, and over the past 32 years.
We await the restoration of the Beatty Building and look forward to the day we can re-open there. While we are temporarily re-located, and open for business, at 41 Church Street, Charlotte is preparing orders for new stock and we have made plans to purchase an eclectic mix of bookshelves that will be both functional and attractive, giving us a whole new – old – look.
I created a wood engraving that those of us who enjoy Georgian Bay, and reading by the water, will appreciate. As you look at this image you might imagine that you have just stepped away from your book to go for a swim in the morning sun, or perhaps to get a glass of wine when the evening comes.
Please take this opportunity to purchase one of only 50 engravings for $100 (Tax and mailing, if necessary, included).
All proceeds from the sale of this engraving will be put toward the purchase of bookshelves for Parry Sound Books.
Please call Parry Sound Books at 705-746-7625 or send an email to parrysoundbooks@gmail.com to arrange purchase.
