Bookman's Blog

A few months ago, we commissioned a new look for BookMan, our cleft-chinned, muscled, purple n' orange-clad mascot, beloved by book-hungry kids and adults alike. The original costume had seen many a community event and in-store appearance, resulting in BookMan looking a little too loved.

A refreshed-looking BookMan arrived on our front doorstep today, and Bookmans' Marketing Director Sheila decided to take the new costume for a test drive. If you're one of the many Bookmans employees who have been enlisted to don the costume at one time or another, rest assured that Sheila now has a whole new appreciation for your service.

You can see Sheila's entire costume adventure in our Flickr.
