Since we are an independent bookstore, we do things differently. Here you will find:
- new books carefully selected in a comprehensive and eclectic spirit
- quality remaindered books, cds, and dvds
- secondhand books, paperback and hardcover, reasonably priced
- audiobooks (now mostly on cd)
- magazines in many categories
- cards from Paper Lantern, Leaning Tree, Peaceable Kingdom, and two
local photographers (Joan Navin and Larry Rankin)
- postcards, including scenes of Carlisle, Dickinson College, and the U.S. Army War College
- jazz and classical cds
- calendars in season (September through February)
- art by local artists such as Susan Schirmacher, Mary Ann Lard, and others in occasional
shows (see also Kimberlee S. Henson's Fly Away Home)
- local honey from Tom Jones, the Happy Beekeeper (pure, unblended, and delicious!)
- bookmarks, bookplates, and other gifts
Customer service is our goal. Among the ways we pay attention to our patrons in person or off-site are:
- quick, efficient special ordering (no extra charge)
- out-of-print searching
- free giftwrap
- gift certificates
- shipping around the world (see Our Policies)
Thanks for visiting. Check often for changes and enhancements. Above all, support your independents!
