Since business has been a bit slow due to the pandemic, we took the chance to make some changes to how the books are shelved at the shop. It seems to us that it would be easier for everyone if our used books and new books were shelved together. In fact, there was a time when we did exactly that, but then we ran out of space and had to split them up. We have enough space now due to a bunch of shelf re-arranging, and so we've merged the new and used hardcover and trade paperback sections together in all three genre areas (science fiction & fantasy, horror, and mystery). Likewise the used and new paperback horror and mystery sections have been combined as well. Sadly, there is no way that we could fit the science fiction & fantasy paperbacks in one section so they are still in two spots.
We hope that it will make shopping easier for you all in addition to making shelving easier for us. Please feel free to let us know what you think.
Do bear in mind - if you see two or more copies of the same book; one or more of them may be used and, therefore, much less expensive.
Since we made these changes, we've created more room on the shelves as well. So, we're looking for more used books. If you've got some books that you like to sell to the shop for store credit or even cash, we're going to be buying books all through the month of September. So, sort through that pile of books by your bed and bring us the ones you don't want to keep.
