We love books. They're our friends. Good books and bad books, 1st editions and beat up paperbacks. We love how they smell, how they feel, and the way they sound when you open them (A customer once said that he liked how they tasted. . . we watch him very carefully when he's in the store).

We read voraciously. We read over dinner and we read in the bath. We lend books and half the time we don't get them back. We understand that the only people who steal your books are your friends. That's OK, after all, we've stolen some of their books.

We like people who read. They're interesting and we share the same friends. We understand what we owe to people who read. We owe them our time and our attention. We owe them fair prices and an honest attempt to find the book they're looking for (regardless of whether it is on our shelves or someone else's).

We run a book store. We keep it clean and organized because we like it that way and because both the books and the customers deserve it. We have lots of seating because you should be comfortable while you browse. We stay open late and wish we could stay open later. If you come in five minutes before closing time we won't close until you're ready to leave.

We only sell Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. We would love to sell all kinds of books but we only have so much room. If we sold all kinds of books we could only be a good bookstore. By limiting ourselves we can be a great bookstore. And, if we do our job right, perhaps we can be your bookstore.

Come visit us. We'd like to meet you.

Specialties: fantasy, horror, new, science fiction, used

Thank you for carrying our titles

It was great to meet you guys at the 66th World Science Fiction Convention. You guys had the best booth and the best selection.

I really appreciate your carrying our new "Summer of Science Fiction" titles at your booth, and for taking so many copies back to the store with you. We've listed you on our website as one of our recommended bookstores, and we always appreciate independent bookstores that support independent publishers.

Keep 'em Flying,
