We currently have over 20,000 volumes listed for sale and another 20-30 thousand unlisted! Additionally, there are 20+ custom-built bookcases, packaging counter, multiple PC's & scan guns as well as miscellaneous packing materials.

If you are interested, please DM us here on FB and let us know how to get in contact with you and we will be happy to discuss the sale.

Hello Top Shelf Books fans,

It's been over a year since Top Shelf Books closed its doors and we were all sad to see it go but today's post is to let you know what's been happening since then.

We would like to introduce all of you to LegenGary Books. (Yes, we spelled that right...we decided to have a little fun with our last name!) We have made a large portion of the wonderful TSB inventory of books and media available online through several online marketplaces and our own website, www.legengarybooks.com.

So please visit our online store, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Thank you for your continued interest in great literature and for your future business!
