Most people know better than to judge a book by its cover, but that hasn’t stopped publishers from plastering shirtless vampires all over underselling copies of the Farmers' Almanac. Stock up on eye-catching titles with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of books, games, and more at Tuesday Books in Williamston.

Tuesday Books’ trio of mom-owners stocks the store’s shelves with carefully selected books, toys, and educational games, assisted by their children, families, and pets. Pluck a kid-friendly tome from the castle-shaped children’s shelf or scour the adult stacks for a new novel to fill out a home library or a living-room book fortress ($3.99+). Alternatively, upgrade dusty tomes by exchanging gently used books for store credit before perusing the shop’s stock of previously loved literature ($2 for hardcovers, $1 for paperbacks). A selection of greeting cards ($3–$5 each) swiftly carries important communiqués to distant relatives, and various journals ($10–$20 each) record the chronicler’s deepest thoughts, secretest hopes, and cheesiest knock-knock jokes for posterity. Melissa & Doug art kits, toys, and puzzles ($8–$25) entertain curious tots, who can also toddle to the store for story-time events on Monday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m.
