We've been busy book beavers lately — we took in more than 1,000 books in May thanks to the semi-retirement of a friend who's been in the used-book business for quite some time.
Relatedly, we've taken in enough rare or expensive books that we're about to launch an online marketplace for those items. The online store will also sell a range of book- and writing-based merch. Stay tuned for a link later this month!
Although all the inbound books aren't yet alphabetized and stickered, they're all on the correct carts and all the carts are correctly tagged. And what better way to get a feel for how we've evolved than though a 7-minute video walkthrough of the current state of the bookstore?
