Yours Truly Bookshop Plans Daylong Celebration for First Anniversary

Yours Truly Bookshop will celebrate its first anniversary Saturday, Aug. 1, with a full day of visiting vendors, giveaways, special merchandise and book-themed activities.

Fantasy author E. Barbee will travel from Washington for a book signing from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will have an opportunity to meet the independent author, purchase books and have them signed during the event.

Logan with Ireland Ink will also be at the bookstore from 9 a.m. until closing, offering book-inspired flash tattoos. Tattoos will be available to walk-in customers only and will range from $100 to $180. A valid ID will be required.

The Humble Lush Mobile Bar will serve specialty drinks, including several book-themed creations, from noon to 4 p.m.

The celebration will also mark the official debut of the Yours Truly Book Truck. The mobile bookstore will feature exclusive merchandise and other items that will not be available inside the shop.

The first 30 people in line will receive a ticket for a free, limited-edition anniversary coffee cup. Tickets must be presented at the register when checking out.

Customers who spend at least $50 will be able to spin a prize wheel for book-themed prizes, with one spin available per person.

Two raffle baskets will be offered during the celebration. One will include a selection of book-themed items, while the other will give the winner a free paperback book every month for one year.

Four Golden Tickets will also be hidden throughout the bookstore for customers to find.

An anniversary sale table will feature select books discounted by 30% to 40%, along with $10 paperback and $15 hardcover book bins.

The anniversary celebration will take place throughout the day Saturday, Aug. 1, at Yours Truly Bookshop, 544 SE Main St in downtown Roseburg.
