We just finished June's Sidewalk Sale.   This went even better than May's, probly due to the excellent weather the first three days.  Sunday wasn't so good.  It was overcast , rainy and to top it off,  the emergency sirens went off.  Oh well.   This  last sale still went even better than May's.  The next one is scheduled for July 22 thru July 25,  Thursday thru Sunday. The prices will be the same for the first three days, Thursday thru Saturday.  Everything outside along Michigan Avenue will be $1.00.   However, Sunday will be bag day.  We will give you a bag to fill for $2.00.   Also,  we will have some pocketsize paperbacks  included in this sale.  They will be of current, popular authors that we have several duplicates of.  This is a good way to try a new author at a greatly reduced price.   Book credit and birthday postcards cannot be used for sale items. Other sidewalk sales will be held  on  August 26-29 and September 24-27.

Birthday Postcard:  Please sign up for my birthday postcard.  On your birthday you will recieve a postcard for free books, no purchase necessary.   I need your address and just the month and day of your birthday.   This information is not given or sold to any other party. 
PRICES:  pocket size,mass market paperbacks are 1/2 the brand new price printed on the cover, no less than 2.00.  All other books are priced in the upper right corner of the first or second page.  Cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express are accepted forms of payment.

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.

 MORE ON BOOK CREDIT:   The book credit is figured like this: mass amrket 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-2009 harlequin or soullette romances, no water damaged or underlined books, no VHS or cassettes. I do accept CD's and DVD's. Also, please do not bring more than 4 hardcover fiction.  It just does not sell well, even at my  low prices ( usually $2.00 to $5.00)  I do, however, welcome hardcover non-fiction.

DROPPING OFF BOOKS: Please do not bring more than one bag or box per visit.    If you drop them off without me going through them first,  I will dispose of the ones I do not  keep at my discretion.  I either donate the ones I can't use or throw them out.  My space is limited and I cannot store them.

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.
