Grey is not our favourite colour.
Grey is not our favourite colour.
Here we sit with the rest of Windsor/Essex in Grey Level lockdown. It's not the way that we planned on spending our pre-Christmas period but we are nothing if not adaptable.
Here's our plan:
Online Shopping & Curbside Pickup We are open for curbside pickup - you can browse our website at www.riverbookshop.com, order your items and then come pick them up between the hours of 12-2pm and 4-6pm daily. Just knock on the door and we'll bring your purchases to you.
Delivery We have two delivery options - Free local delivery to Amherstburg, Lasalle, Harrow and Essex on December 18th and 20th - just those two days. Flat rate delivery of $12.00 to other locations and on days other than the 18th and 20th.
Window shopping We've maximized our window space with every one of our windows made into display space. Stop by, window shop our selections and place an order. The windows will change periodically so be sure to check back often.
Virtual Social Media browsing Follow us on your social media platform of choice. We will be posting numerous times throughout the day about books that have caught our attention, just arrived or might be just what your are looking for for that special someone. We'll be highlighting our other products too - Puzzles, candles, tea, Shinola journals, T-shirts and more!
We also offer gift cards so that your gift recipient can choose their own books. Something for everyone!
And now without further ado....Some great book picks!

How can you go wrong with those titles?
And be sure to employ some self care with meditations and stress release through mindfulness with How to Be More Tree, Nothing Much Happens and The Art of Stillness in the World.
