Sidewalk Sale June 8th, 9th and 10th, Friday through Sunday !! There will be five carts of books
outside in front of the store and all the books on them will be $ 1.00 each. Welcome new visitors to my
website and there is some new information here for those who know me. The literature section has been greatly expanded.
If you need a required reading book for a class, give me a call, there is a good chance I will have it. Our beautiful
Michigan spring is here and I have many gardening books, home improvement and decorating books. Also,
the movie star photos so many have admired are for sale. They are $5.00 each, frame not included. I
no longer accept cassette tapes. They simply were not moving. There is some major re-organization going on so
please let me know what you are looking for-I'll know where it is. Many have asked me if the e-books are hurting my
business. No it hasn't. Sales are good. I might have lost a few regular customers to their e-book,but not
enough to affect sales. Many of my customers own computers and work with computers, but they still prefer books. Maybe
the fact that they look at the screen so much at work makes the classic made books that much more treasured. Also, the
price for an electric book is the same or even more than a classic made book. I think that is a real rip-off to charge so
much money for a product that does not physically exist. Childrens books sell well and that is the main key to keeping
the classic made book around, children enjoying them and owning them. My little grandson who is almost
one and a half loves his books. He opens them, turns them upside down,chews on them. He recognizes the characters
in them from his TV shows. He is read to and enjoys turning the pages. That is a good sign for the classic made
book industry along with all the collectors and book people like us. -Kathy

BOOK CREDIT: (trade ins) I do not
pay cash for books. I do figure out a credit for books you bring and the credit is kept on file with your name and address.
Each time you make a purchase, you still pay for your books, but you will get 50% discount. For instance,
if your purchase totals $10.00, you would pay $5.00 plus tax, and the remaining $5.00 would be deducted from your credit.
Leftover credit just remains on file until you use it up. Books are not free. It may not seem
fair that you have to pay for your books while I don't. If I paid cash I would be much more selective of the books I
accept and I would have to guess what books you might want to buy. This way, I put out as many books as my shelves
can hold and if a book does not sell after a while, I remove it. You keep your credit whether I sell
your books or not. The book credit may also be used for books on CD, music CD's, and DVD's, VHS and
sheet music.
MORE ON BOOK CREDIT: The book credit is figured like this: mass market paperbacks at 25% of the printed U.S. cover price, no less than $1. Hardcover and trade size paperbacks get 1/2 of the individually marked price. If a mass market paperback book has $7.99 printed on the cover as its U.S. cover price, then your credit for that book would be $2.00, which is 25% of $7.99. For the hardcover and trade size paperbacks, if I price the book at $5.00, then your credit would be $2.50. I figure the credit for each book, add it all up, record it with your name, address and the day and month of your birthday and keep on file for whenever you want to use it. I DO NOT ACCEPT: condensed books, magazines, library discards, encyclopedia's, computer books,badly worn, torn, or coverless books,pre-2011 harlequin or soullette romances, no water damaged or underlined books. I do accept CD's, DVD's and VHS, and sheet music.
RETURNS: Cash refunds are
at the descretion of the management. This means you will not get a cash refund unless management finds it justified. However, you can turn books, DVD's,
and CD's for credit.
