✨️✨️ UPDATE: THIS IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT THROUGH APRIL 2027. WE WILL POST MORE DATES IN A FEW MONTHS ✨️✨️

You know what we hear a lot in our store? "It must be so fun to run a bookstore!" And it is.....(most of the time)

Now you have your own chance to try your hand at running a mini bookstore for a month here at Blythe Books. Curate your own selection, write out shelf talkers, decorate with an esthetic that is all yours - and capitalize on financial gains when your books sell!

We'll split the proceeds of your sales between you and a charity of your choice. And if you manage to sell out your entire collection before your month is over, Blythe Books will make an additional donation to your charity in your name.

Spots are limited and a few have already been snagged by some eagle-eyed visitors to our website. Grab your spot and start planning out your dream bookstore inventory!

(Some T&C apply, please see our site for a detailed breakdown of how this works.)

What a crazy 9 days it's been at the store! Thank you to everyone who showed up to support our store at the 2nd

We always like to be really transparent about our store and how our business operates, so take a look at just how much your business these last few days has benefited our store.

Our little store was so happy to welcome so many of you in during the Crawl, but remember that small businesses don't thrive on one week of business alone. Be sure to stop by and support us throughout the year - we always have great finds for used books just waiting for you!
