Times change, and the Book Barn lumbers along, trying to keep up. We’ve noticed that both movies and books on tape have not been selling very quickly for us, and we are pretty much going to leave off buying them. The exception would be for the old Hollywood classics of the Bogart-Wayne-black and white period and rare or interesting foreign classics. Books on CD and movies on DVD are still welcome, but the tapes are going to be phased out.
Just in, after the big collection of needlework and crafts books of a couple of weeks ago, is a nice shelf of books on history of the American West. Come take a look. Pardner.

Please to note. As many of you know, the availability of cash for buying books varies from season to season. From November 1 through March 31st, you will be able to sell books to the Barn for cash on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. On Thursdays and Fridays you’ll be able to sell for store credit but NOT for cash. Do be aware.
And now, for those of you who think of us as a quaint, folksy, not-quite-in-touch-with-today’s-technology, old fashioned bookstore, we announce that we have a splendid new commercial on our website, visible under the “Neat Stuff” heading, and devised by Daniel White, our inspired website designer and man in charge of reminding us it’s the twenty-first century. Take a look.
And for those of you who PREFER us as an old-fashioned harbor of book-lovers and Luddites, we just got in a nice shelf of the old Gray Walls Press Crown Classics and Falcon Prose Classics, those charming old five shilling standbys of British readers–poetry and prose selections by British authors from Dryden to Surtees. They’re on a shelf in the main lobby and I’m betting they go quickly. Please come buy them before I do.
