What We Do

With two locations in Northeast Kansas, we bring the warmth of a local bookstore to Aggieville in Manhattan and Mass St in Lawrence.

We...

• buy, sell, and trade high-quality, gently read books
• sell books online at Amazon.com and Abebooks.com
• connect the community with a monthly literary calendar
• buy scholarly libraries
• help you find the perfect book for your mood with on-the-spot suggestions and ongoing searches
