"The
buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul's
reaching toward infinity; which is the only thing that raises us up
above the beasts that perish." - A.E. Newton

We have sore arms and are covered in dust. Why? Because we're moving!
Moving book sections, that is. This week we've relocated many sections,
including Horror, Erotica, Theater, Romance, and the Clearance Books.
If you feel a bit discombobulated on your next visit, please ask us for guidance!
Have you read the new Jim Hines book, yet? Hines is a local, award-winning
fantasy writer with a burgeoning fanbase . . . and he's one of our favorite writers.
Codex Born, book two of his Magic Ex Libris series, was released yesterday.
We have a few copies of Codex Born and Libriomancer (Book One) in stock.
Michiganders will get a kick out of Hines's subtle nods to Northern Michigan life,
MSU and (gasp!) a mysterious East Lansing bookseller by the name of "Ray W."
WARNING: You won't be able to put down this book!
