We will also highlight books with hard-to-resist titles (for example, “Did Monkeys Invent the Monkey Wrench?”).

Our DVD and CD collections have been re-organized into genres, to make browsing a bit easier. New additions to our “Special Price” table include a beautiful Easton Press printing of “The Deerslayer,” DVDs and books from the “Great Courses,” a number of first edition and signed books of fiction in slip covers, and the ever popular “My Favorite Thing is Monsters,” a graphic novel.

With the end of summer in sight and fall travel on the horizon, don’t miss our selections of mass market paperbacks, romance, and mystery novels.

The bookstore always appreciates donations in all categories, both fiction and nonfiction, in resalable condition. Please, no magazines or encyclopedias. Receipts are available for tax purposes.

Help us spread the word; please forward this message to your community and neighborhood email groups.
