Words
Worth Staff or "Your Personal Shopping Service"
Staring at a wall of books can be an intimidating or
an exciting prospect. Let our staff help by clarifying your needs and placing the best books in your hands. From the thousands of
books we have collectively seen and read, each of us has gleaned the
gold from the dross and we want to pass this onto you! We all have gifts
to buy through out the year and we all know how hard it can be to find
the perfect gift. And a book is always the perfect gift - for yourself
or loved ones! Feel free to contact or email staff individually
for the book advice. Click on their name for their email address.
Also check out our list of the top 25 books that
we created to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. You can read the list

Chris - Receiver & Resident
Techie |

Chris is our
soft-spoken guy with quiet sarcastic humour. He does most of the processing of
book shipments and knows all that's worth knowing about J.R.R.
Tolkien. He also knows his way around our Science Fiction and Fantasy
Shelves, both for adults and children/teens and keeps his eye on all great
graphic novels. We're not
sure if he can do anything backwards and blindfolded except riding his
bike!
