Shape Up for Spring

"A professional-level guide for anyone who is serious about their physique."

This is the first muscle-building instruction book written by a professional trainer that is tailored to the general reader. Its annotated full-color anatomical illustrations are revolutionary, clearly explaining which muscles are engaged in each exercise, what the exercises are designed to accomplish, and the precise interaction of the adjacent muscles.

"Anatomy of Muscle Building" is organized by body area to reflect the common progression of a well-planned workout. The author also supplies easy-to-follow workout plans suited to all levels of fitness and experience.

The book explains intensity, sets, and repetitions, and recommends duration and frequency of exercise routines. It also covers the key fundamentals of weightlifting and the benefits of free weights and machines. It includes: How to build muscle without gaining fat;  The importance of cardiovascular exercise;  Principles of diet for weightlifters, including the role of protein;  The pros and cons of dietary supplements;  Helpful sidebars on what to look for and what to avoid;  Exercise variations to accommodate individual differences;  Tips on achieving optimum form to achieve optimum results

A visual index helps readers navigate, and a checklist allows readers to track their exercises and progress. Beginners, serious weightlifters, competing athletes, trainers, coaches, physiotherapists and many others will find "Anatomy of Muscle Building" fascinating, instructive and practical.

Tell us about your shopping experience!

This is what Louise DeLoach has to say:

            Upon moving to Hartsville thirty-nine years ago, I quickly found Burry Bookstore.  Charlie Burry was always so happy to see his customers and to help them find what they were looking for.  Now, his daughter, Emily, continues to keep Burry's the same happy, friendly store it has always been.  But, she has also kept up with changing times by offering online shopping, luncheons with authors and generally keeping us all up to date.  The entire staff is so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - my shopping experience is always a pleasure.  Burry's continues to be a Hartsville treasure!

Weird Carolinas

Spanish moss reaches out from dark trees on lonely roads, the Great Dismal Swamp shelters unknown beasts and near-beasts, the coastline is marked with thousands of hidden inlets where pirate ships buried treasures and German U-boats prowled. With all this and so much more, is it any wonder that the Carolinas, North and South, are filled with places and people that can only be called weird? And in our book, that’s a compliment. 

Not everything about the Carolinas is strange. Pepsi-Cola was invented here, and it’s where Krispy Kremes first hit it big. Babe Ruth batted his first professional home run in Fayetteville, and the first English baby born in America debuted on Roanoke Island. Unfortunately, she came to a sad end, as did her whole “Lost Colony.” Just one of the many Carolina mysteries you can try your hand at solving.  

To round up the strangeness of these states, Roger Manley, a native son of the South and a man with a keen eye for the offbeat, jumped into his Weirdmobile and scoured the two Carolinas. Follow him now on your own ride into the unknown. Listen for the eerie sounds that come from the bottomless pits of Magnolia. Search for hidden emeralds in Hiddenite, North Carolina. Roll out the welcome wagon for some extraterrestrials at the UFO Welcome Center in Bowman, but watch out for parts of a hidden H-bomb lurking somewhere beneath the surface in Wayne County. Sneak up on Monkey Island, where the humans are in cages and the monkeys run free! Catch the chain-saw art in Bynum, but don’t get caught by the devil on his Tramping Grounds in either Carolina! Ride a horse and chow down some vittles at a bona fide Old West town in Iredell County. Or take in Oyotunji, an authentic African village, except that it’s in Sheldon, South Carolina. And don’t forget to stop by and say hello to Darrel the Donut, U.N.C.–Greensboro’s library mascot. 

The latest entry in the best-selling Weird U.S. series, Weird Carolinas is packed with all the things other guidebooks don’t tell you. So begin your own weird journey now. We promise it’s a journey you’ll never forget.

Two Great Books About Heaven

Heaven is For Real - Todd Burpo

Todd Burpo tells the true story of his four-year-old son Colton, who, during emergency surgery, slips from consciousness and enters heaven. The disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and there is a coming last battle.

Getting to Heaven - Don Piper

Since publishing his inspirational bestseller in 2004, Don Piper has traveled the world spreading his message of faith-certain faith-in the promise of Heaven. In Heaven is Real, Piper shared how life's trials can be turned into spiritual lessons, when we are open to the certainty of God's grace and love.

Now, in his first new book in four years, Getting to Heaven, Piper draws on his own firsthand experiences with the joys of Heaven-as well as the lessons found in the Gospel-to offer a set of "departing instructions," helping readers face the inevitable battles ahead, prepare for eternal life, and, starting today, live a happy, fulfilling, purposeful life on Earth while preparing for the glories of Heaven.
