About Timeless Words
Timeless Words is a way for me to share my love of books! Nothing can take the place of holding words in your hands - words that will take the reader to another world! To re-read a book through the generations is a way of passing down the history and adventure of those other worlds! To me, a book is that is handed down through time is a link to past family members and allows the newest generation, who reads it, a link to the past and helping to carry on a tradition - just as family reunions and holiday rituals are! At Timeless Words we want our buyers to feel that the generation, or copyright year, of a book is not a barrier to finding it! Whether it is an educational book, or a non-fiction novel, from the 1800's to a Z- Generation children's book, we may have it! If it is not in stock - just ask for it! Timeless Words would like to offer to look for a book for you, starting with our local businesses, at no research cost to you! Come on in and take a look around! Ask if you can't find it!
