I see you around town all the time--is that a good way to order my next book?
You may think it's convenient to order a book from one of us if you happen to bump into us at the grocery store.

A book isn't listed as available on your website--can you help me find it anyways?

Do you ship books?
We absolutely do. We ship books all around the United States every day--and sometimes to Canada.

Yes! Our gift cards are plastic--just a credit card.
You can either pick them up in-store or get them mailed to you. Purchase one here.

We gift wrap for any special occasion free of charge. If you're ordering a book online that needs to be gift wrapped, don't forget to click the "this is a gift" box at checkout.
