The Regulator Bookshop: Discount Club Sale! Thursday through Sunday

All books in the store will be 20% off for members of our discount club--tomorrow (Thursday) through Sunday

We'll also be "giving away" (for a mere $2.00) an assortment of cloth book bags. (Which you will need to help you carry all the books you're going to buy...). Cheaper still, we'll have a big selection of snazzy book posters available for only $1.00 each.

The sale discount applies to most special orders placed or picked up during the sale as well. If you can't make it to the store, the sale terms will be available for orders placed through our website.

Shop early and often! And come by the store Thursday evening to hear our former staffer, Emily Colin, now a best-selling author, read from her new book. (See below).

Thank you for your support of The Regulator, Durham's all-inclusive, open, welcoming, safe community gathering place for more than 40 years.

The Regulator welcomes NYTimes bestselling author and former Regulator staffer Emily Colin (The Memory Thief) for a reading and signing of her new book, The Dream Keeper's Daughter, about an extraordinary time-bending journey from present-day South Carolina to historical 19th-century Barbados.

Eight years after the unsolved disappearance of her boyfriend Max Adair, archaeologist Isabel Griffin has managed to rebuild with her young daughter, Finn -- her last tie to Max. But after a series of strange incidents, Isabel begins to wonder if Max might still be alive somewhere, trying to communicate with her. Max has slipped through time and place, landing on his ancestral family plantation in 1816 Barbados, on the eve of a historic slave uprising. As Isabel searches for answers, Max must figure out not only how to survive the violence to come, but how to get back to his own century, the woman he loves, and the daughter he has only met in his dreams.

Emily Colin's debut novel, The Memory Thief was been a New York Times bestseller and a Target Emerging Authors Pick. Besides working for The Regulator, Colin's diverse life experience includes organizing a Coney Island tattoo and piercing show, hauling fish at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys, roaming New York City as an itinerant teenage violinist, helping launch two small publishing companies, and serving as the associate director of DREAMS of Wilmington, a nonprofit dedicated to immersing youth in need in the arts. Originally from Brooklyn, she lives in Wilmington with her family.
