In celebration of Indie Bookstore Day on April 25th, nineteen North of Boston bookstores have come together for the 3rd annual special passport challenge with over $5,500 in prizes!
Visit as many bookstores as you can Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th. At each stop, get your passport booklet stamped! (You can download a printable version right here or pick up a physical novelty passport booklet at your first stop on April 25!)
At your last stop of the weekend, ask for a completion form from the bookseller to provide your information and mark where you visited to be entered in the prize drawings.
A random drawing will be conducted in May to select the winners. No purchase required to participate.
Visit all participating stores by Labor Day and enter to win the Slow & Steady Prize of a gift card bundle with $20 to ALL 20 shops! A $400 value!
Each stop on the North of Boston Book Trail will have a limited amount of FREE novelty passports, beginning on the first day of the trail. However, if you prefer to print your passport, download the 1-page version right here starting April 15th!
TWO lucky individuals who visit 20 bookstores between April 25th and April 26th will win a Grand Prize gift card bundle, including a $50 gift card to EACH of the 20 bookstores – a $1,000 value.
FIVE lucky individuals who visit 12 or more bookstores between April 25th and April 26th will win a 1st Prize gift card bundle, including a $25 gift card to EACH of the 20 bookstores – a $500 value.
