I had a hard time navigating the store as there were stacks of books everywhere. Seems like a neat place if you can handle small spaces. The person working was very friendly, and it did have an ambience that felt like I was somewhere hidden.

The store is overflowing but with patience you will find treasures. Worth the trip and parking is easy. Life slows down while inside.

This is my daughter's favorite bookstore! She spends hours there and we never leave empty-handed.

Questions & Answers

Does this place buy books?

We are also quite selective on what we are purchasing and prefer to have you call and set up an appointment rather then just stopping in with 27 boxes. I do make house calls; we offer more in credit than cash. Many people are downsizing currently - it's a bit challenging for used book dealers to deal daily with all those wanting to dispose of books! If you have any questions, please give me a call. Best wishes, Ray Walsh.

Would you be interested in going to a home and looking at a 50 book collection of Zane Grey novels?

Kyle Snyder | Oct 26, 2019

Greetings! Yes, we do make house calls - but no we would not be interested in the 50 volume collection if they were a set, published by Black. Zane Grey isn't nearly as popular as he was 20 years ago; the market is saturated with sellers, unfortunately - not buyers. You may want to consider donating them to your local library. Single volumes that say Harper on the spine or copies in dust jackets would be of more interest - depending on condition. We also selectively buy old postcards, photos, magazines, pamphlets, maps, ephemera and other books, including children's books, local history, philosophy, science fiction, fine bindings, first editions and comic books. Thanks for contacting us. Best wishes, Ray Walsh

Do you purchase magazines? Some from the 1970's and forward. Some older?

Barb Fuller | Oct 26, 2019

Greetings! We selectively buy magazines; unfortunately most magazines from that time period are not in great demand. For example, we don't need National Geographic or American Heritage or Horizon from that time period...or Reader's Digest, We are interested in magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar or teen magazines. Please call or e-mail us a rough list - no need to be exact... We do take donations and make house calls; It's best to set up an appointment! Best wishes, Ray Walsh

I'm sure they do but this would be a good thing to call the business about.
