Spring Finally Arrives

After an abnormally cold and wet winter (great reading weather!), perfect spring conditions (great beach-reading weather!) have arrived in Southwest Florida. We are enjoying our wonderful wrap-around porch in our new location, where we have hosted several book-signings and often find customers enjoying their new purchases in our comfy Adirondack chairs.


Two wonderful new children’s books are now available: Helen Ketteman’s Swamp Song ($17.99) is charmingly illustrated and lyrically written for young children. “Down in the swamp where the cypress grows, old man gator starts tapping his toes…” begins Swamp Song.


Jane Kirschner-Tuccillo’s Annabelle from Sanibel ($12.95) grew out of the author’s fond memories of visiting the Island Bake Shop on Sanibel in the 1950s and tasting her first-ever piece of key lime pie there. She has included her secret recipe for the pie in her story.

Local favorite Christine Lemmon has a new hardcover gift book called Whisper from the Ocean ($16.00), which is a compilation of favorite passages from her three lovely novels. She will be appearing at MacIntosh Books in June.


Finally, favorite son Charles LeBuff has a new book called Wildlife Barons: The Legendary Piper Brothers and Their Wonder Gardens. The book will have its world premiere at MacIntosh Books on April 21, 2:00 p.m. when Charles will be on hand to sign books and talk about these live-on-the-edge brothers.
All of these books are welcome additions to the shelves at MacIntosh Books & Paper. You can order these books by emailing  MacIntoshBooks@gmail.com. We will happily ship them to you.
