Well, actually... we’ve been digging deep and uncovered thousands of Non-Fiction titles.

That means ALL of our used backstock is now BOGO 50% off with over 6,000 titles to choose from!

Still ONLINE ONLY as our basement is an archaeological marvel that only the bravest and most irreverent of booksellers can hope to navigate.

Kids and Young Adult Backstock have been added to our BOGO 50% off sale! Non-fiction coming soon!

This sale is ONLINE ONLY as our basement requires professional bookseller training, arcane incantations and some luck to navigate.

Keep your books and support local y'all!

Our basement is full, y'all. We need your help making some more room. Used Backstock Fiction is now Buy One Get One for 50% off! Kids, YA and non-fiction being added soon.

More math below:

📚 Buy 2 Books -> 1 is 50% off
📚 Buy 4 Books -> 2 are 50% off
📚 Buy 42* Books -> 21 are 50% off
📚 Buy 67 Books -> HAHA 6-7
* the answer

Said basement is un-shoppable for uninitiated humans so this sale is ONLINE ONLY.

As always, keep shopping local, keep shopping small!
