There is something magical about a corner
used bookstore. The kind that are scattered across the world, where the faint smell of aging cloth and paper mingles with the quiet shuffle of pages, of covers sliding against each other as they are taken from their shelves. There is something that literally jumps inside of us when we enter these nearly hallowed community mainstays.Its something a little more than just the senses. Something more than the thousands of books waiting to be experienced for the first time. Something that's a throwback to an age that's slowly disappearing in our fast paced world. Something like walking right into the chapters of a story: a story that kind of rolls up Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote, Its a Wonderful Life, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars all in a single, magnificent epic that both embraces and turns us loose.We strive to be a part of that epic.In a world increasingly globalized and seemingly spinning faster, we are working to position ourselves somewhere between the old and the new, somewhere between our local community and the world around us, between dreams and practicality, between profit and social responsibility. We want to be a local business working in a global community. In short, we strive to be a very different kind of business in a very familiar way.
