We are open as heck, and you can come visit us at 315 5th Ave SE from 12-6pm every single day. Come frolick amongst our shelves.

We are still doing curbside pickup at our new space. Call us to order in-store books, and order new books online here on our site and select "curbside." (Or you can have it shipped to your home!)

New hours are Mon. - Sun.: 12pm - 6pm

We are now doing buybacks! Please understand that we have a smaller space than before and are now pickier. Newer titles, interesting volumes, and rare books are what we're looking for! Call ahead and bring up to two medium-sized boxes, and be prepared to take back what we can't buyback. Book trades are for used in-store credit only.
