A bookshop with a register at its heart. Every secondhand copy that passes through our hands is entered in the register, graded honestly, and described in our own words. One copy, one record, one reader at a time.

  • Good
  • Acceptable

A bright, uncreased copy. The spine has never been asked to work hard, and the pages still smell of the printers. I would happily shelve this one face out.

PRICED BECAUSE

recent copies in this condition have been selling for around $14, and this one is better kept than most.

The departments

  • The Register

    Our used-book department and the heart of the shop. Every copy is accessioned with its own record, graded honestly on a four-tier scale, and described in my own words before it reaches the shelf.

  • Goods

    Totes, bookmarks and enamel pins, made in the same card-stock spirit as the register itself. Small, sturdy things for people who carry books everywhere.

  • New Books

    New books are arriving in a later chapter. For now the register keeps me happily busy, and I would rather do one thing properly than two things by halves.

Why a register?

Because a used book is not a product line, it is a single object with its own history, and it deserves a record of its own. I grade each copy honestly, write its condition note myself, and tell you plainly why it is priced the way it is. Every copy is the copy.
