Via Matthew Alderman at Holy Whapping (self-plug for Matt, but we approve), Loome Theological Booksellers, one of the best places to get your God read on, will be featuring sacred gifts, to include Mr. Alderman’s lovely illustrations. Loome’s is a remarkable place, not just because the provide a tremendous product and variety at that, but because they’re part of the renewal of culture. Besides serving locally grown commerce and an amazing product, they’re members of the Catholic Library Renewal Network, which “seeks to promote the Christian intellectual tradition by supplying Catholic institutions and religious orders with professionally built libraries through the generosity and charity of donors” Amazing.
If you’re in the Twin City area of the US, go to Loome’s for a launch party this Sunday, from 2 to 4 PM at their store 320 North Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota. Support Loome’s–Chesterton would be proud:
In an age dominated by big-box retail in books as well as everything else, it is refreshing to see that such a dominating institution as Loome’s is still in many respects a local, mom-and-pop sort of place, and that the man behind the cash register believes in the truths that are stacked up high on his shelves.
Minnesota friends, I I have holy jealousy! Report back with your favorite find and let us know how it all went.
It should be noted that the grand opening of Loome Sacred Gifts already took place on the 15th of November — it was a great success.
