Next Weekend!

**All the special editions of TTPD have been purchased! We will post once we receive the standard pressings. Thanks everyone!**

We left out three books of poetry overnight (Pablo Neruda, Langston Hughes, and Audre Lorde) and Taylor called up her private jet pilot, saying 'Oh Captain, My Captain take me to Hastings!' Luckily her jet had no problem finding parking and she left us three special edition releases of The Tortured Poets Department!

The three pressing are in charcoal, smoke, or beige. Each pressing includes a special song, limited to that vinyl. We have two copies of each of the special pressing of TTPD.
These are first come, first serve.

We also have original pressing of TTPD on their way. Not sure why they haven't arrived since we per-ordered, but we will leave more poetry out tonight and hope for best.

Free free to stop by or give us a call if you have questions!

Hi Friends-

We wanted to give a quick update as we prepare to open- our goal is to be open and running by Tuesday March 26th! (The main factor that will impact our opening date is the sidewalk construction. Keep checking our Facebook for updates!)

• We will have a website where you can order books through; it’s not up and running yet but once that’s going, we’ll definitely post it on Facebook.
• We’re able to complete special orders for books that aren’t on hand.
• Gift cards will be available.
• We have a selection of new records and will be purchasing used albums!
• All our books are new and board books all the way through adult titles, both fiction and non-fiction.
The community of Hastings and the surrounding areas have been extremely supportive of our endeavor; we cannot wait to share our dream with everyone.

Thank you,
Shawn and Paige
