"The authors of 'The Best Friend's Guide to Getting Fit' share the inspiring story of how their friendship helped them to focus on a regular exercise program that made them mentally and physically fit."--Miami Herald
"Introducing 'The Best Friends' Guide To Getting Fit, ' Kim Murphy and Kris Carpenter's veritable love letter to achieving one's goals, overcoming obstacles and, most of all, the power of friendship. A few years ago, Murphy, 42, and Carpenter, 41, seemed like poor candidates to be instructing anyone on getting in shape. Both admit that neither could scale a medium-sized hill without risk of triggering a wheezing fit. But after completing the 2003 Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, it dawned on them that, through perseverance, dedication and helping each other, they had developed from hopeless novices into veritable 13-mile running machines. Now, through the book which hit bookstores last month, they maintain that you, too, can do the same."--Paul White "The Virginian-Pilot "
"Two out of shape friends used their friendship as the basis for establishing a consistent exercise routine - and you and a chosen friend can follow in their footsteps with their Best Friends' Guide To Getting Fit. From setting mutual fitness goals and establishing a routine to overcoming illness, injuries and even boredom and lack of discipline, certified personal trainers Murphy and Carpenter provide a wealth of inspirational tips."--Midwest Book Review
"Women need their buddies as fitness partners, says the authors of 'The Best Friends' Guide to Getting Fit.' That's because getting fit is easier -- and more fun -- when you have a friend to keep you going."--The Tampa Tribune
"Sisterhood builds strength....The trend motivated two Virginia women to write a book, 'The Best Friends' Guide to Getting Fit.' It chronicles their journey to fitness together through running and the link between women seeking friendship and physical fitness. 'I think it's catching on, ' said Kris Carpenter, 43, who with co-author Kim Murphy is a personal trainer with an online fitness business. 'It's kind of like the Tupperware parties of our generation. Instead of getting together for Tupperware or bridge, we're getting together to exercise. It's more powerful.'"--Barb Berggoetz "The Indianapolis Star "

ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
