Scott Walker has been sketching and experimenting with various mediums for as long as he can remember. "We are constantly surrounded by beauty, if we just take the time to look," he said.

"Nature and Beauty," is a photographic/print exhibit featuring limited prints of air-brush and art-pencil pieces. We are pleased to feature also, limited prints of Scott's digital photographic images of colour and design found in nature. Prints available framed or unframed.

Available only at The Neat Little Bookshop, downtown Cayuga. Come by and visit. Enjoy for the first time on display some of this artist's unique work. "The coffee pot's always on..."

Book Lovers Everywhere

The Neat Little Bookshop ~ one of the first photos. Some of the walls were still bare!

When we took the name of the business that friend and neighbour, Herb Martindale, had begun, we had no idea whether the village of Cayuga would support a reincarnation of Herb's old bookshop.

Herb's customers have come back; new customers have arrived and travellers looking for a used book store have made our effort worthwhile.

The enthusiasm shown by book lovers everywhere make us work harder to ensure that the little bookshop remains a landmark.

We will have been in this location for three years this coming Mother's Day! Thank you, to our readers and to you our customers.

Literary Nonsense

Lewis Carroll's Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are good examples of what is known as literary nonsense.

Thursday's literary hour at The Neat Little Bookshop could sometimes be labelled literary nonsense ~ the discussions are always insightful, thought-provoking and entertaining.

With Valentine's Day approaching, today's debate will be whether or not there are universal personality traits desirable in a friend -- or a mate -- or do different cultures and individuals look for different qualities?

Do you ever feel like Alice, landing in strange and sometimes not so wonderful places that you could never have imagined? See you at 1:30 P.M. The Neat Little Bookshop.
