New arrivals from 10 minutes ago.

Open at 11. Close at 5... or 5:40... like yesterday. "That's a nice stack of reading.... As long as you're adding to it, I've got PLENTY to do!" Ha!

90% chance I'll have the workload under control and be open Thursday 1-5, Friday Noon to 5 and Saturday 11-5 next week! It's going well.

Thank you all.

p.s If you remember 30 years back, mckay's used to put a big black sharpie x on books they didn't want. I like to think I was one of the reasons this practice stopped but it's probably just a fantasy.... I begged them to stop and had rational reasons.

Anyways, that John Farris book is from back in those days!

Our buying "procedures" haven't changed in 37 years. We buy and sell the coolest books. Been here working full time since 1990.... We work very hard and we make a living, but more importantly, we make living with books in this area more enjoyable! Buying, collecting, reading, and selling single books and whole libraries. Same as ever. Come in and see if we can help out.

Open Fridays, Saturdays and Thursdays if we're caught up on our buying appointments.
