Valentine’s Day is coming to Pages Bookshop with gifts, cards and gift certificate for sweethearts. Books last a lifetime; much longer than flowers and chocolate. They carry bestsellers, illustrated boxed sets and even antique first editions. There’s also a children’s and young adult’s section. Pages features Detroit authors, Detroit themes and creating healthy and environmentaly friendly homes and community. It also hosts in-store appearances by authors.

            Owner Susan Murphy takes the time to order books she believes regular customers will like for review and says, “Books are an exploration. At Pages, we provide a place for you to become comfortably lost within our curated selection of literary fiction, nonfiction and children’s literature. Come make yourself at home.” She notes, “Research has demonstrated that children who learn to enjoy reading become better writers and communicators.”
