As we head into Spring, I am excited to have such a fabulous schedule of events! All of our favorite authors are coming this season and we have some newer sure to be favorites as well. Be sure to check the events page for all the details.
DB and I are going to Book Expo at the end of May to find more favorites for everyone. Of course, DB will be talking to EVERYONE on the tradeshow floor so he’s bound to find the store several new authors! Just look at the pictures from the Cracker Kitchen signing with Janis Owens and Pat Conroy. DB and Janis became fast friends at the SIBA tradeshow and we were so lucky to have her in the store for her fantastic signing. If you have a special request or a certain genre that you would like us to stock or look at putting on the shelf please let us know. You can contact either of us on the links on this website or come by to see us!
I will be adding a Picture Gallery page so everyone can see past signings and store events. We will be sure to take lots of photos at Book Expo so everyone can see the excitement. One big exciting part of Book Expo is that Pat Conroy will be there promoting South of Broad. Mr. Conroy’s new book will be released August 11th and he will be at Bay Street Trading Company on August 29th to sign his newest release.
We are taking pre-orders for this event and it is sure to be a packed house so please be sure to get your reservation in as soon as possible.
Another really exciting event is our upcoming signing with Clay Rice. This event will include individual silhouette sittings with Mr. Rice. A silhouette by Rice is a southern tradition! I had my silhouette made by Clay’s grandfather as a child in Charleston. Check the event schedule for times and dates but be sure to get an appointment for your child – the schedule is filling up quickly!
There are too many exciting events to detail them all so please check the events page and also look at our new listing of rare and collectible books, including some first edition Pat Conroy books.
Thank you for your support of Bay Street Trading Company and hope to see you soon in the store!

Here are some new choices for your reading list:
First Family - A new release by David Baldacci.
It began with what seemed like an ordinary children’s birthday party. This party, however, was far from ordinary. It was held at Camp David, the presidential retreat. And it ended with a daring kidnapping. . . Which immediately turned into a national security nightmare.
The 8th Confession - a new book by James Patterson.
As San Francisco’s most glamorous millionaires mingle at the party of the year, someone is watching–waiting for a chance to take vengeance on Isa and Ethan Bailey, the city’s most celebrated couple. Finally, the killer pinpoints the ideal moment, and it’s the perfect murder. Not a trace of evidence is left behind in their glamorous home. As the hunt for two criminals tests the limits of the Women’s Murder Club.
Loitering with Intent - a great new book by Stuart Woods.
Running low on cash and unlucky in love, Stone Barrington is not having a good week. After a night at Elaine’s, his luck seems to improve when he’s hired to do a little discreet detective work in the balmy paradise of Key West.
With the insight, humor, and compassion we have come to expect from her, Maeve Binchy tells a story of family, friends, patients, and staff who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old and the new Ireland.
The new release Heart and Soul is Maeve Binchy at her very best.
Outliers - The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell
This book takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" --the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?
A Lion Called Christian - tells the remarkable and true story of how Anthony "Ace" Bourke and John Rendall visitors to London from Australia in 1969, bought the boisterous lion cub in the pet department of Harrods.
Originally published in 1971, and now fully revised and updated with more than 50 photographs of Christian from cuddly cub in London to magnificent lion in Africa, A Lion Called Christian is a touching and uplifting true story of an indelible human-animal bond. It is destined to become one of the great classics of animal literature.
