We have a curbside pickup locker directly in front of our store. Once your books are paid and you’ve chosen a pickup day, we will give you the locker letter and lock code. On your pickup day, your books will be the locker from 11am to 9am the next day, and you can get them whenever you’d like.

For books in store, our rates are $5 for the first pound and another .60 for each additional pound.

Gifts, apparel, and other items ordered through this site have their own shipping rates.

Now that we’re open for stop-in browsing, we no longer offer local delivery, sorry!

In the store we have just a few of the most popular titles. For everything else, we encourage you to order from our Bookshop.org store, which helps us out a LOT.

Those books will ship direct to you from the distributor’s warehouse, and we get a commission that’s actually better for us than selling the books ourselves.

Bookshop.org is a not-for-profit, the goal of which is to let indie bookstores compete against You Know Who. We curate a bookstore on their site, they handle customer service, and the books themselves are shipped from Ingram (the distributors we ourselves use). We get 30%+ of the cover price on all books purchased through our affiliate link.

As crazy as it sounds, this is legit.

Here’s all the details if you want them.

We don’t have any access to those orders, but Bookshop has great customer service. Click the contact link on their help page.

Use the Contact Form to send us an email and we’ll look it up for you. Include the names and alternate names (nickname? maiden name? partner? kid?) we should check, plus phone numbers.

Yes! Please read the Trading page for all the details.

YES! We have a giant, customer-funded store credit account which teachers (and nonprofit volunteers) can use to get 50% off used and 20% new books. We also offer special order services for teachers.

Unfortunately, we have to limit the number of special orders we make.

We love it when you buy new books through our Bookshop.org store! For out-of-print titles, we recommend Biblio or Alibris, which are marketplaces for other indie bookstores.

Indeed he does!
