We may be opening late today thanks to a bit of car trouble in the middle of nowhere. 🙄

🦑Our pop culture section is growing including putting up the sign, although there was a moment when Jason Momoa wasn't going so well! 😂

While we are closed for most donation we are still accepting pop culture including manga, graphic novels, RPGlit, TTRPG guides, manuals, and campaign books (and other related items), TV show tie-ins etc. 🎮

See our website for more details about what genres we can accept and our store credit option and conditions.

(Image 1 is of a sign saying 'pop culture' in gold letters on a black background being held by Jason Momoa as Aqua Man. Image 2 is of both the sign and Aqua Man hanging awkwardly in the air.)

This has happened often enough that I have learned not to worry unless it looks like they are starting to get distressed. They usually just wander back out on their own and I have to go clean up the floor after them. (And they say Google reviews are rough...)

(Video is of a cheeky magpie wandering around the front window of the bookshop. It starts in the window, walks down a little, hops on the shelf to look out then continues on past the front counter and out the door.)

It's a SIGN! (Several in fact). We are slowly printing and hanging our genre signs in the shop making it even easier to navigate and find the books you love. We have more to hang so feel free to ask at the counter if you can't find something.

These are just a few of the topics we offer!

(Video pans across the tops of several of our bookcases showing black signs with gold writing that appear to hover in the air.)

We have a large bundle of 11 Terry Goodkind novels available. Several are very well loved but this is your chance to get a large chunk of his collection for a good price of $65 the lot.

We do have some others on the shelf but will not be splitting the bundle.

(Image is of a cardboard box displaying the spines of books with three books with their front covers displayed. Terry Goodkind X11 $65 is written on the box lid)
