Books, books, and more books

Looking for a good read? You might find a few among our 3000 books.

The free ones - older how-to books and novels, religious books and Bibles - are stashed on the shelves in the back corner of the store.

The rest - housed up front - can be had for very little:
Silouette romances are $.10 a piece.
Children's books, with rare exceptions, are $.25 each.
Novels start at $.50. Many are $1.00, including the potboilers, the mysteries, the NY Times bestsellers. Some are as much as $3.00!
The coffee table books start at $1.00. So do cook books, do-it-yourself and self-help.

We try to maintain order: horse stories here, biographies there, classics on shelves in the middle. The 'old' books have their own section as do picture books for children.

Still, we sell books every day and new books arrive all the time. Our 3000 books don't multiply but they do spill over: there is always a certain amount of chaos. And for you, the pleasure of discovery.
