 New Year's Resolution Ideas
It's a New Year!
Our 2015 event season kicks off tonight! You'll find our online events calendar now updated through the end of February.
Join us in coming weeks for a fading Jazz Age, a debate on public unions, an obsession with a childhood bully, an exploration of leadership in America, a look at America's favorite drug, a proposal to democratize higher education, and much more.
Plan for Next Year! Holiday cards are now 75% off through Monday, January 19 -- and there are still plenty of beautiful cards to choose from.
Calendars are now 50% off. Deck the walls with 2015.
It's Cold Outside
We're here for you.

Issues of Our Age
Our Select 70 featured books for January include important works that explore the age we live in, from the recently issued Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Torture to discourses on mass surveillance, the risk of a U.S.-China conflict, rape culture, the war in Afghanistan, and more. Furthermore, explore this month's spotlight, "Ferguson and Beyond" -- six books on race and law in America.
For more current events-inspired education, our staff has prepared a mini reading list: "Reading into North Korea."
In Case You Missed It We recently took a look back at 2014 and 14 memorable moments from the year here at Harvard Book Store.
