Whether you've seen Holmes incarnated
by Jeremy Brett or Robert Downey Jr.,
it's worth returning to the original
stories for this most original of
detectives. The mysteries are clever,
the camaraderie between Holmes and
Watson lends a touch of humanity, and
the foggy Victorian London is almost a
physical character itself. Open the book
to find yourself in 1899, on a dark Baker
Street, with Holmes and Watson racing to
a hansom cab because once again, "The
game is afoot!"

This science-fiction epic starts off the Expanse series with a bang. The book manages to combine elements of a classic noir detective series, a running spaceship battle thriller, and a mutated alien virus horror tale to great success. There are memorable, fun characters, and it's impossible to find a stopping point; every chapter is a cliff hanger. A fast and exciting read, and highly recommended.

You may not be aware of the extra service we provide, but each book we receive is carefully read through for typos, loose plot threads and general narrative flow before we put them out for sale. That's how much we care.

Optical illusion, or are these spin-offs getting out of hand?

There are oodles of cute, fluffy used paperback books here looking for a good home, and they're all at least 50% off this weekend. Don't worry; they've already had their shots.

We are closing both locations up for the day due to the weather. Stay safe, everyone.

Thank for the shout out from the Boston Globe! We'd rather stay at home and read books, too. http://www.bostonglobe.com/magazine/2014/02/16/boston-staycations-from/dvgo7xlDEfsqytsIm8mDTN/story.html

It's really wonderful how many people are eager to hear details on our future plans for our next location; it really shows us how appreciated our stores are. To help answer your questions, here's a little insight into our process: Before we open a new store, we need three things; the right location, capital and inventory. Due to the abrupt nature of our lease loss in Salem, we had to sell off an entire store's worth of inventory at a loss, so it may be a little bit before we have enough of the second two to start the process. Opening a store costs a lot of money and we certainly need stuff to sell once we do so. We're building up funds and stockpiling books and more as this very moment in anticipation of that time. Thank you to everyone who's come forward with suggestions as to towns or even specific buildings that we can move into. We're not ignoring you, it's just that we're not quite at that stage yet. Trust me, as soon as we have information to share, we'll share it! Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and patience. There WILL be another Used Book Superstore!
