Did you know we sell a curated assortment of books? We select the books we think are most helpful, and offer them at a discount from cover price.
Stop in and ask to see them if they aren’t out. We don’t put them on display every day due to weather. The ones we do have on display are dog-eared and sun faded. You are free to read through them while you are here. And we have beautiful fresh copies inside for your purchase. A great accompaniment to a gift certificate or addition to your library.
