Arboretum plans trip to Washington The Hartshorn Arboretum is offering a 1-day bus trip to the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. to view the Treasure Houses of Britain. The bus will depart Stone House at 7 a.m. February 8. Limited seating on the bus and passes for the record1-ed tour are available through the arboretum, 376-3587.

This trip was originally scheduled to be made by train, however, due to the overwhelming response, a bus will take the group door-to-door. Leaving Washington at 5 o'clock, the bus will stop at the New Castle Inn, Delaware, for dinner before returning to Stone House later that evening. The cost of the trip is $70. "The sale goes on forever," is Encore Books manager Paul Williams' response when customers ask when the grand opening will end and when prices will increase. Located on Morris Turnpike in the former building, Encore's opening marks the first time in many years that a bookstore has been located any place in the township other than the Mall at Short Hills.

The store, which opened the day after Thanksgiving, is able "to bring best sellers within easy price range of most people," said Mr. Williams. Founded by David Schlessinger while he was a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania 10 years ago, Encore Books operates 25 stores in the Philadelphia area and two other stores in Springfield and Chester in addition to the township store. Mr. Williams said the Morris Turnpike store "is a new concept for our company since we are able to offer our customers services that would now be found in most bookstores." In addition to selling hardcover and paperback books, the store also carries calendars, magazines, stationery, gift wrap and greeting cards.

A unique feature of the store is that it offers discounts of 35 per cent on hardcover books on The New York Times' hardback bestsellers list and 25 per cent on The Times' paperback bestsellers list. Drawing mainly from the township and Summit, Encore also attracts business from people "who don't want to fight the hassle of finding a parking space at the Mall at Short Hills," said Mr. Williams.
