LAUREN BUTTS
Thursday, August 3, 7:30 p.m.

If you’re anything like sixteen-year-old vegetarian and author LAUREN BUTTS, you don’t want to wade through your parents’ cookbooks or resort to eating boring plates of steamed veggies. You probably just crave vegetarian versions of the foods you already love. So that’s what Lauren gives you in OK, So Now You’re a Vegetarian (Broadway Books, $12.95). Not only does she provide 100 mouth-watering recipes, she also deciphers vegetarian jargon and gives advice on maintaining a healthy diet.

OK, So Now You’re a Vegetarian

JEFF SHAPIRO
Tuesday, August 8, 7:30 p.m.

In his debut novel, Renato’s Luck (HarperCollins, $24.00), JEFF SHAPIRO introduces us to Renato Tizzoni, the head of the local waterworks in the Tuscan town of Sant’Angelo D’Asso. For nearly forty years, Renato has been content to live his quiet life, but his life and luck are about to change as a proposed dam threatens to flood the town and his personal life starts to unravel. Soon the entire town is caught up in his mission to change his life and the lives of his friends and neighbors.

ROBIN CHOTZINOFF
Thursday, August 10, 7:30 p.m.

Westword writer ROBIN CHOTZINOFF has always suffered from “terminal physical mediocrity.” Resigned to her own lack of athletic calling, she hit the road in search of other not-necessarily-talented-but-incredibly-driven athletes, discovering hope and hilarity in America’s cave dwellers, tree climbers, mall walkers, surfing housewives, and many others. Whatever their inspiration, Chotzinoff shares their stories in People Who Sweat (Harcourt, $13.00).

People Who Sweat

SONIA CHOQUETTE
Thursday, August 17, 7:30 p.m.

For all of us feeling overworked and overwhelmed, True Balance: A Commonsense Guide for Renewing Your Spirit (Three Rivers Press, $18.00) is the book that will put us back in balance. SONIA CHOQUETTE Ph.D., knows the importance of balance in everyday life, and in her fourth and most inspiring book, she outlines how to create a healing environment so that we can become our own caretakers.

GRANT SCHNARR
Wednesday, August 23, 7:30 p.m.

Using the extended metaphor of war, GRANT SCHNARR applies Sun Tzu’s ancient manual, The Art of War, to the enemy of our own negativity. In The Art of Spiritual Warfare (Quest Books, $15.00), Schnarr shows us how to recognize our shortcomings, or spiritual adversaries, and how to fight them and win. Whether we struggle with bad habits, depression, addiction, or just negative thoughts, Schnarr helps us regain balance in our personal lives.

The Art of Spiritual Warfare

BRAD NEWSHAM
Monday, August 28, 7:30 p.m.

When he was 22, BRAD NEWSHAM promised himself that he would someday invite someone from his travels to visit him in America. Take Me with You (Travelers’ Tales, $24.00) is the true account of Newsham’s 100-day journey through the Philippines, India, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, all the while seeking someone to invite back with him. This remarkable book covers a wide geography not just of land, but also of spirit

DR. ROBERT ROUNTREE
Wednesday, August 30, 7:30 p.m.

Immunotics (Putnam, $21.95) is the term DR. ROBERT ROUNTREE has coined to describe the powerful nutraceuticals that dramatically increase immune function and effectively battle bacteria and viruses. Immunotics is the 21st century answer to – not replacement for – antibiotics, going beyond the treatment of infection to the prevention of illness without the side effects or antibiotic resistance.

WENDY SCOTT
Thursday, August 31, 7:30 p.m.

Meet Divine Mother (Gold Fire Press, $16.95), by WENDY SCOTT reveals the true identity of Divine Mother as our co-creator and the maternal source and visual voice of truth and wisdom within us; how and why we lost that awareness long ago, and how we can easily meet Her again today to transform our lives from any unhappiness into absolute joy. It is essential reading for anyone on a spiritual, religious, or mystical path.

CHILDREN’S SUMMER READING PROGRAM

Boulder Book Store has teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s in Boulder to bring elementary school aged children (grades 1-5) our SUMMER READING PROGRAM!

Here’s how it works:

1. Register with the children’s room bookseller and get a membership card.
2. Read an age-appropriate chapter book (no picture books, please)
3. Write a short (50-100 word) book report and turn it in to get a stamp on your membership card, and a certificate for a free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cone!

We will post the best reports in the store, and use them as recommendations for other children of the same age. Books need not be purchased at Boulder Book Store. The program will run from June 1 through August 30, 2000.

How Can You Tell An Independent Book Store From A Chain? INDEPENDENTS HAVE BOOK SENSE

Passion. Knowledge. Personality. Community Involvement. That's what it means to have Book Sense and that's why Boulder Book Store has joined with thousands of independents around the country to make our customers more aware of the dedication and diversity you can find by avoiding cookie cutter chains and seeking out independent businesses.

Book Sense is, in part, a marketing campaign (designed by those very smart "Got Milk?" people) to promote awareness of independents. You can now see the Book Sense logo in the windows of your favorite local book stores. Plus, when you're traveling, you'll be able to seek out new independents that really reflect their local culture.

Look for the bi-monthly Book Sense newsletter, as well as our Book Sense Bestseller display at the Boulder Book Store. You can also purchase Book Sense gift certificates, which are good at more than 1,100 Book Sense stores across the country!
