NOTE: Books IN and OUT policy:   due to lockdown we have almost run out of space in the store for MORE books…..    and as a helpful service, we are willing to accept books for store credit BUT that store credit must be used at the time of trade-in.  This is the only solution that will work till we get back to normal operations again and books can start to FLY off the shelves again.  We appreciate your patience and understanding of the particular strain such circumstances create for us.   We look forwards to the day when many customers can again peruse our bookshelves in person, comfortably, at leisure,   and at that time our trade-in policies will change once again.
