We’re so full of the holiday spirit...and we’re so full of holiday gifts! Books, lapel buttons, tiny blank books, fancy-pants-cils (just made that up—they’re fancy pencils), books, art, LPS, books, and more. Come on by! . #socobooks

There’s nothing like a Kurt Vonnegut mug and a stack of books from #SoCoBooks! Thanks, @kelliwie! ・・・ Breakfast of Champions • • • #kurtvonnegut

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.” #PauloCoelho #TheAlchemist

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” #art #KurtVonnegut . #saturdayshelfie #shelfiesaturday

“There is only one place to write and that is alone at a typewriter. A writer who has to go into the streets is a writer who does not know the streets.” #CharlesBukowski #NotesofaDirtyOldMan . #socobooks #typewritertuesday #lindaking #ferlinghetti

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” #agathachristie Agatha Christie was Edward Gorey’s favorite author. He’d have loved these gorgeous UK editions! #edwardgorey #socobooks #ukeditions

And thanks to YOU, @partsandlabour, for your post & tag! Shop local, shop small business Saturday and every day! ・・・ #Repost: THANK YOU @bigtopcandyshop for the shout out and THANK YOU @roadhouserelics for this cool pic and for reminding everyone it's #smallbusinesssaturday. We realize it's tough and a luxury to exclusively shop small businesses, but we appreciate all efforts. There was a time when Austin was still a small college town and all of S. Congress was budding small businesses. Maybe take today to revisit those places that make this city stand out from your average burbs - or enjoy it before it becomes one. #shopsmall #shopindependant #shophandmade #shopindependent

@beldonstevens We love so much. Thank you! ・・・ May all the ancient gods etc once more, as ever, for the happily unfussily curated splendor that is @socobooks , which happens to have a beautiful hardback of my dear departed friend and mentor’s book on Pindar and dance, and a signed 1st ed of my colleague Dr. @kellygreycarlisle’s memoir . #Repost with @get_repost . #socobooks
