Margin Books just got a new lot of books from our publisher! They're already up on the shelves, but we made sure to take some pictures of them beforehand so you can take a look at what's new!

We restocked a bit in our selection of Agatha Christie works, as well as our graphic novel department, bringing you some more affordable ways to enjoy DC and Marvel comic series! In addition, there's some horror (American Psycho/H. P Lovecraft), historical fiction (Hamnet/Clan of the Cave Bear), sci-fi (Project Hail Mary/The Handmaid's Tale), and more! We even ordered a copy of Kiki's Delivery Service, which I only just learned was originally a book!

The day may be rainy, but if you can, take a visit to Margin Books to check these out, along with all of our other new and used books!

Margin Books has a brand new display composed entirely of books from Penguin Classics! This display features thirty-two different books at once, made up of a various novels, short story collections, and poetry! There are selections from literature, science fiction, mysteries, epics, comedy, horror, and more! In addition, the vast majority were selected as deeper cuts from what Amazon or Barnes and Noble would recommend, meaning it's possible you might not have even heard of some of these!

So check out your next favorite classic at Margin Books! The display is right next to our Discount Shelf, and as a heads up, all of the books on it are new, so they go for retail prices.
