Our Valentines Day Contest Winner!!

Congratulations to Mariel Martin for being our winner in the Valentines Day contest. The correct weight was 4 pounds and 6.3 ounces. Many people entered but no one got the correct weight...but 5 people came close with a guess of 4 pounds and 6 ounces. So in the event of a tie we threw all 5 answers in a bag and had IT superstar Bob Royce randomly pull a name. Congratulations Mariel and thanks to everyone who entered.

General books at The Skidmore Shop

We have finally opened the General Books section of The Skidmore Shop website. After all...we are the Skidmore College bookstore. You'll find titles by many of our campus authors as well as books on Saratoga Springs listed here. We will be adding new titles to this growing list over the next few weeks, so keep checking in. Remember, many of our titles are 20% less than cover price and buying books online is super easy. Just click here to browse our titles.



And since I have your attention, I just wanted to mention that we have signed copies of Skidmore Professor Steven Millhausers latest book Dangerous Laughter. Supplies are limited so order now!



Steven Millhauser won the Pulitzer Prize for his book MARTIN DRESSLER and his short story "Eisenheim the Illussionist" was adopted for the 2006 film The Illusionist, directed by Neil Burger and starring Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton. The Illusionist grossed over $120 Million Dollars worldwide.

Organic, Organic, Organic

In conjunction with the Environmental Action Club, we are looking toward environmentally friendly products for the campus. The Shop has just taken a new step. We now have organic T-shirts and baseball caps available. We will hopefully be expanding that line in the near future. There is even talk of a recycled plastic bottle sweatrshirt. Stay tuned for updates on this topic.
