What is a BARGAIN Item?

Bargain items can be brand-new products that our buyers have purchased from publishers at incredibly low prices. We pass these savings - sometimes as much as 80% off an item's list price - along to you.

Bargain items can also be publisher overstocks or other special purchases, so there might be a few scratches, marks or dented corners. There might also be a sticker on the item from the publisher. Regardless, Books-A-Million does not ship defective items.

Our selection of bargain books changes hourly, and quantities are limited, so shop now and shop often. Due to unpredictable demand, it is possible for us to oversell the available quantity of a bargain item. In such cases, we will promptly cancel your order and your credit card will not be charged.

 
 
 
Overview

High in the mountains lies the town of Noel, surrounded by beautiful white walls and a great silver gate. Every year Alexander and his mother walk the long distance to Noel to watch the lighting of the village Christmas tree. This year Alexander learns that the Keeper of the Flame will choose the person who has given the truest gift of Christmas to light the flame. On his way to Noel, Alexander helps a poor old man he finds lying in the snow. His act of charity is rewarded when he is chosen to light the Christmas flame. Alexander learns that it isn't what you have to give, but how you give of yourself that matters most.

Master storyteller Richard Paul Evans weaves a heartwarming tale of the true meaning of Christmas spirit.

In the long-ago world of Evans's (The Christmas Box)message-driven tale, the high point of Christmas is not a visit from Santa, but the lighting of the Christmas flame in the mountain "Christmas town" of Noel. This particular year, the aging Keeper of the Flame (who looks a lot like St. Nick) turns over his duty to a pure-hearted boy who performs a selfless act of kindness. Craig marks his children's book debut with a series of dimly lit, opulent computer-generated scenes that often have the appearance of acrylic or oil paintings. Realistic in their details and Old World in their mood, they reinforce the old-fashioned, homily-like quality of the text. All ages. (Oct.)
