Warwick’s is pleased to announce the launch of our Signed First Editions Club! This monthly* program is designed to appeal to the lover of the bound book, the savvy bibliophile, the dedicated collector. Each month, our experienced buyers will hand-select a brand-new, signed first edition hardcover book for members, focusing on both rising literary stars we're excited about and established, award-winning authors we know and love.

How it works:

- Membership in the Warwick's Signed First Editions Club has a 12-month duration, with one opportunity to opt out of a selection. (We will notify members each month via email to let you know what the selection will be.) 

- There's no enrollment fee - the only cost is that of the monthly selection - typically a $25-35 hardcover book - plus the option for shipping ($5.95). Free in-store pick up is also available.

- Once you sign up, Warwick's will keep your payment information securely on file & your credit card will be billed on a monthly basis.

The Signed First Editions Club also makes a great gift! Sign up to have these hand-picked selections sent to that special someone in your life who loves to read.

To sign up, email us at info@warwicks.com or call the book department at (858) 454-0347. (If emailing, please provide payment & shipping information, as well as whether the membership is a gift for someone.) One more thing: the first 25 people who sign up for the Signed First Editions Club will receive a $20 voucher for a future book purchase at Warwick's!

*Please note that some of our selections have strict publisher on-sale dates and will not always be available at the beginning of the month. If you have any questions, please call or email the book department.

Upcoming selections:

The Beginner's Goodbye by Anne Tyler-A beautiful, subtle exploration of loss and recovery, pierced throughout with Anne Tyler's humor, wisdom, and always penetrating look at human foibles.-from the Publisher

Anne Tyler gives us a wise, haunting, and deeply moving new novel in which she explores how a middle-aged man, ripped apart by the death of his wife, is gradually restored by her frequent appearances—in their house, on the roadway, in the market.

Crippled in his right arm and leg, Aaron spent his childhood fending off a sister who wants to manage him. So when he meets Dorothy, a plain, outspoken, self-dependent young woman, she is like a breath of fresh air. Unhesitatingly he marries her, and they have a relatively happy, unremarkable marriage. But when a tree crashes into their house and Dorothy is killed, Aaron feels as though he has been erased forever. Only Dorothy’s unexpected appearances from the dead help him to live in the moment and to find some peace.

Gradually he discovers, as he works in the family’s vanity-publishing business, turning out titles that presume to guide beginners through the trials of life, that maybe for this beginner there is a way of saying goodbye.

June Selection:

Canada by Richard Ford-Segmented into three parts, the narrative slowly builds into a gripping commentary on life's biggest question: Why are we here? Ford's latest work successfully expands our understanding of and sympathy for humankind.-Library Journal

"First, I'll tell about the robbery our parents committed. Then about the murders, which happened later."  

Then fifteen-year-old Dell Parsons' parents rob a bank, his sense of normal life is forever altered. In an instant, this private cataclysm drives his life into before and after, a threshold that can never be uncrossed.

Undone by the calamity of his parents' robbery and arrest, Dell struggles under the vast prairie sky to remake himself and define the adults he thought he knew. But his search for grace and peace only moves him nearer to a harrowing and murderous collision with Remlinger, an elemental force of darkness.
