Since 1980, The Bookshelf has been providing new and used books to avid readers. At our bookstore, just one block from the library, you’ll find a friendly staff that many have dubbed the “Bookshelf Ladies”.

Order New Books with No Money Down

As soon as a new book comes out, we have it in stock for you to buy. If we run out of a certain title you want, we can always special order it for overnight delivery, directly to your home or our store for your convenience. We know weeks in advance when new books are coming out, and we offer a sign-up sheet so you can pre-order anticipated titles that might be hard to find on the shelf.
