Many thanks to The Lost Bookshop in Delhi for creating such a fun event, and to Upstate Curious for their generous support.

I know that I should not choose books by their covers.
But sometimes...!

Piece by piece we are putting ourselves together here in our new location. Sci-Fi and Fantasy collection is all shelved now, with some room to grow. Many thanks to Beth Mowry , who worked by herself on a cold January day boxing up this collection so that it could be evacuated from The Historic Hobart Inn after its December shutdown. :-)
Our new address is
40 Cornell Avenue, Hobart NY.

Not to worry, our store still has plenty of secondhand mass market paperbacks. :-)

The mass market paperback, light in the hand and on the wallet, once filled airport bookstores and supermarket media aisles. You may never buy a new one again.

All the books on our shelves are second-hand and wild, a vast flock of vareigated father and charming, content resting for a while here, but happy to move on to new homes.

Our collection is caught betwixt buildings at the moment, but reunión day is drawing nigh. ❤️
