As of March 21st, our physical storefront is unfortunately closed to the browsing public due to the coronavirus outbreak. 

We are now offering contact-free order pickup at our front door on Monday-Saturday from 11am-5pm. You are also more than welcome to purchase books, puzzles, candles, pins, journals, anything we have from that open door. One of the hardest parts of this lockdown has been not having conversations about books with all of you, so feel free to come down & chat lit at the door! 

If you select the frontdoor pickup option on your web order, PLEASE wait for our email letting you know that your order is ready. If your order is marked "completed" that may nt mean that your items have arrived - we will email you as soon as they're ready, we promise!

Local delivery is available for $1 per item with a cap of $5. (Orders over five items will have the extra delivery fees waived before your order is completed through the website.) Our delivery area covers these zip codes: 92101, 92102, 92103, 92104, 92105, 92112, 92113, and 92116. We've been loosely describing the area as "east of the 5, west of the 805, south of the 8, and north of the 94."

We are also offering reduced USPS media mail shipping at $2 for the first item + $1 for additional items. Per the post office, Media Mail takes 2-9 days to arrive - and it might take us a couple of days to get to your order and ship it out. USPS Priority mail is $15 flat rate and usually arrives within 2-4 days.

As always, we thank you for your continued, humbling support.
Please stay safe and healthy.
